The South African u20 Men’s National Team (Amajita) coach Thabo Senong has named the provisional squad to take part in the upcoming 2016 Edition of the COSAFA U20 tournament.
The Regional tournament is scheduled to run from 4-18 December in the North West province.
Amajita won the COSAFA U20 Cup back in 2013 in Lesotho when current Bafana Bafana Head Coach Ephraim “Shakes” Mashaba was still head of the junior team and was assisted by now u20 head coach Thabo Senong.
The Burger King-sponsored Amajita will have a week-long camp and play an international friendly match sometime in November before the COSAFA Cup tournament.
Senong said he was happy with the programme and was looking forward to the COSAFA tournament which he said would prepare his Amajita squad for the CAF u20 AFCON championships scheduled for Zambia early next year.
“When we qualified for the 2017 CAF U20 AFCON, we sat down as the technical team and designed a program that we believe will get us to the 2017 FIFA U20 World Cup later next year.
That programme begins this coming Sunday with the 28 players that we have identified. We have kept the bulk of our qualifying squad, excluded our three overseas-based players; and instead have also decided to invite a few new players which we have been monitoring over time,” said Senong.
