Johannesburg-Basetsana coach, Sheryl Botes has named a 20-member squad that will prepare for the second leg FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup qualifier against Tanzania. The match will be played at Dobsonville Stadium in Soweto on Saturday, 21 December.

Kick-off is at 15h30.

Botes has kept a majority of the team that defeated Tanzania 4-1 in the first leg in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania over the weekend and will be looking to finish the job to progress to the third and final round of the qualifiers  to be played in January next year.

“I have kept the bulk the squad that travelled to Tanzania because I didn’t want to make too many changes. I think our focus going into training on Monday would be improving certain aspects we might have missed and of course rectify the problem areas we faced in Tanzania.

“Unlike in the first leg where we didn’t know what to expect from Tanzania, I think our planning and preparations will be easier this time as we know how Tanzania play. I’ve watched the dvd of the first leg and we just want to take the players through the game and highlight elements we should be working on in preparation for the second leg,” Said Botes.

Botes will once again be without the services of USA based Robyn Moodaly and HPC duo in Chamelle Wiltshire and Drishana Pillay who are all going through rehabilitation recovery programmes and the Basetsana mentor is hoping they will be ready in January should they progress to the third and final round of the qualifiers.

The Basetsana squad assemble on Sunday, 15 December at Garden Court, Eastgate hotel and will train twice daily at Edenvale Football grounds from Monday, 16 December.

Two African representatives will be amongst 14 teams that will compete at the 2014 Edition of the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup that will be staged in Canada from 5-24 August 2014.
