U20s are back!

In this episode of The COSAFA Show we look ahead to the
TotalEnergies CAF Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations | COSAFA
Qualifier that will be staged in Maputo, Mozambique from Thursday
until the final on October 5.


There are 11 teams that will be hoping to at the very least reach
the decider and earn a place at the continental finals that are
to be held next year, where COSAFA will be represented by two
teams.


Zambia are the record 12-time winners and looking to make it
lucky number 13 is their coach Boyd Mulwanda,
who himself lifted this trophy as a player all the way back in
1997, explains to us. What a special moment it would be for him
if he could repeat that feat as a coach and we get his thoughts
ahead of kick-off.


Namibia coach James Britz took the country to
the silver medal in 2020 and is back again for a third shot at
the title with a new-look team. He details his side’s
preparations and what we may expect from the Young Brave Warriors
in Maputo.


We also get the thoughts of the four-time CAF Women’s Coach of
the Year Dr Desiree Ellis on the level of coaching on the
continent and what can be done to help aspiring young female
tacticians to realise their dreams.
