NB: on March 2, FIFA decided to suspend Guinea from all international activity
    after the government of the country refused to re-instate members of the
    disbanded Guinea FA executive committee.  Because of this Guinea were banned
    from the tournament.  FIFA had first issued a deadline of February 15 for the
    reinstallment of FEGUIFOOT's elected board, which had been dissolved by the 
    Guinean Sports Ministry on January 28, citing 'poor results'; on February 14, 
    the Sports Ministry appointed a new federation with a new president, reinstating 
    Aly Bangoura as secretary general but under supervision of a new member; FIFA 
    then issued a new deadline of March 2, midnight, for the reinstallation of the 
    elected board.

Rearranged Final
Mar  3 Nigeria       3-0 Burkina Faso

Nigeria, Burkina Faso and Mali qualified for World Cup U-17.
