The national U17 football championship finals continued on Sunday at the Stade d’Akouakam in Oyem, with defending champions Estuaire extending their winning streak. They defeated a resilient Ogooué-Ivindo side 2-0 despite being reduced to ten men after captain Ludovic Moussa received a red card in the second half. Star forward Nguema AJ scored both goals, taking his tournament tally to five in just two matches and cementing his position as the leading scorer.
Meanwhile, Makaye Ma Ngome bounced back from their opening defeat to Estuaire with a convincing 3-0 win over Ogooué-Maritime. The team from Moyen-Ogooué showed improved offensive efficiency and defensive solidity, keeping their qualification hopes alive.
The tournament, organized by the Gabonese Football Federation (FEGAFOOT) under president Pierre Alain Mounguengui, is part of a long-term strategy to develop young talent. The high intensity and technical quality on display underscore the federation’s investment in grassroots football.
