UJ Soweto Campus Stadium to host the u20 Women’s Cosafa Championship
Five nations will be on the hunt for the u20 Women’s Cosafa Championship title when the competition kicks off at the University of Johannesburg‘s (UJ) Soweto Campus Stadium on Tuesday.
South Africa will be up against Lesotho, Zambia, Mozambique, and Botswana to determine which is the best u20 team in southern Africa.
The tournament follows a round-robin format and runs from 19-24 November.
Lesotho and Zambia will get the ball rolling with a midday kickoff on Tuesday, with the hosts making their bow at 15:00 against Mozambique. Botswana joins the action on Wednesday, taking on Mozambique at 12:00.
The 15:00 match on Wednesday, between South Africa and Zambia, is expected to be one of the highlights of the tournament. Those two teams have a longstanding rivalry and the outcome of that contest could prove crucial in determining which country secures the title.
Thursday will be a rest day, to be followed by three days of matches, culminating in South Africa facing Botswana at 15:00 on Sunday.
