The winners of both games will book their place in London, whilst the losers will face each other in the third place play-off for an Olympics berth.

The team which finishes fourth will take on an Asian team next year in Coventry for a final chance to qualify for London.

Group A saw Senegal recover from an opening day defeat to Algeria to qualify after beating Nigeria 2-1 and Morocco 1-0.

Algeria exited the tournament after falling to a 4-1 defeat to Nigeria, who also miss out on London.

In Group B Gabon stunned the Ivory Coast 3-1 to make it to the last four, finishing second to Egypt, who beat South Africa 2-0.

The semi-finals will be played tomorrow and Wednesday (December 7) in Tangier and Marrakech respectively, with the third place game and final being held on Saturday night (December 10).
