Whatever happens in the Cosafa/Afcon U-20 final against Zambia on Saturday in Maputo, South Africa U-20 coach Raymond Mdaka says the right boxes would have been ticked at the tournament.
Amajita take on Zambia to decide the Cosafa champions but the most important thing for both teams is that they will represent Cosafa at the 2025 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon).
“We came to this tournament to compete in every game. We might lose the final on Saturday against Zambia but we would have given the same attitude and approach that we showed during the tournament,” said Mdaka.
“The main aim for us was to qualify for Afcon, but many other things will always be there because we are talking about U-20s who in years to come could be with the U-23s and the senior national team.”
Mdaka added he hopes some of the players can go on to play regularly for their Betway Premiership teams this season to gain experience that will be valuable at Afcon.
