Coach Vela Khumalo’s charges were drawn in Group B and they will fight it out with regional rivals Zambia, Madagascar, and Malawi. Speaking ahead of their showdown against Zambia, SA coach Vela Khumalo said he was expecting a tough match against the tournament’s defending champions.

“We are looking forward to playing our first game against Zambia, which is going to be a little bit tough for us. But we are ready for Zambia and we hope that we are going to give a good account of ourselves. We have motivated the boys, the technical team is ready to go, and everyone is in a good space. We are looking forward to getting positive results,” said Khumalo.

The regional tournament will serve as the qualifying platform for the CAF Under-17 Africa Cup of Nations 2026, with only the top two teams securing a place in the continental finals.
