Former South African Football Association (SAFA) Technical Director Walter Steenbok says Amajita qualifying for the U20 FIFA World Cup is very crucial for the future of South African football and the growth of this team.
South African U20 national team coach Raymond Mdaka says tonight they are playing their most important match in the U20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament, as victory over the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) would see them qualify for the U20 FIFA World Cup.
The experience of Amajita players, in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) and also in CAF inter-club competitions, will be another big factor coming to tonight’s crunch encounter against Zambia in the U20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Amajita coach Raymond Mdaka says finishing top of Group A is his primary target, and he expects his players to carry that through in their crucial COSAFA derby against Zambia.
Tylon Smith believes a disciplined and composed approach was key in driving Amajita to a convincing 4-1 win over Sierra Leone, in their third AFCON U20 game last night.
Discipline, determination, and hard work have been the characteristics of Sierra Leone’s captain and star player, Momoh Kamara, at the U20 AFCON tournament in Egypt.
