Head coach of the South African u20 Men’s National Team, Thabo Senong, has announced a squad of 26 players for the international friendly match against Kenya, which will take place on Saturday, 26 November 2016.

The encounter will be played at Tsakane Stadium in Brakpan.

While the clash is used for preparations of the upcoming 2016 COSAFA u20 Cup which will be held in Rustenburg, North West Province from 7 – 16 December, Senong has had to change the team around due to the unavailability of some regular players.

>blockquote>”It is a good squad that we have selected and we had to look for other players when clubs were unable to release our regular players due to exams as well as the MDC Challenge that is currently underway. We would have loved to have them in camp so our preparations for the COSAFA Cup can be spot on. Some of them will join us immediately after the exams,” said Senong.

“What we have now is a mixture of players from the ABC Motsepe and the SAB Leagues – they don’t have the international experience but this match against Kenya will help them get there.”

are already in camp and have already played a friendly match against the UJ SAB League, which they won 4-0.

“The match helped us in terms of assessing these new players and we were quite impressed with some of them. I am almost certain 70 percent of the players in camp will be part of the COSAFA CUP squad,” added Senong.

Amajita will have another practice match on Thursday, 24 November at the Eldorado Stadium, Ext 9 starting at 10h00.

At the COSAFA CUP, the South Africans, who are the defending champions, are in Group A alongside Lesotho, Swaziland and Botswana.
