10 March 2023 – National Under-17 coach Duncan Crowie has announced a list of players for a camp that will be used to select the final squad for the 2023 U-17 Africa Cup of Nations in Algeria in April.

Crowie’s charges will go into to camp on the 9 April 2023 and then the coach will announce his final AFCON-bound team on 15 April 23.

This year’s u17 AFCON tournament will be held in Algeria from 29 April to 19 May 2023 and South Africa are pitted against Nigeria, Morocco and Zambia in Group B.

Crowie recently conducted a selection camp at the SAFA National Technical Centre (Fun Valley) in the south of Johannesburg in February and he described the exercise as “a huge success”.

He ran the rule over several players as he continues his preparations and planning for this year’s Africa U-17 Cup of Nations. The camps are part of his preparations for the continental completion in Algeria and the coach believes they have been a hugely beneficial exercise.
