The South African U20 Men’s National Team reported for camp on 12 August 2024 at the SAFA Technical Centre ahead of their two friendly matches against Lesotho on 16 and 18 August 2024.

A total of 26 players reported for duty with the exception of Shandre Campbell and a few other players who could not honour the camp due to lack of documentation.

Campbell, who made a move to Club NXT out in Belgium, has been excused from camp after the club requested his exclusion ahead of his debut season.

Amajita will travel to Lesotho on Thursday 15 August 2024 ahead of the matches in Maseru in preparation for the 2024 COSAFA U20 Championships scheduled for September 2024.

Lesotho will host South Africa at their Technical training centre on Friday 16 August and Sunday, 18 August 2024. These two matches will be played at 15h00 and 10h00 respectively.

U20 Head Coach Raymond Mdaka welcomed all the players who have honoured the camp.

“We will have two days of vigorous of training that are dedicated to tactical work before we travel across the border to Maseru,”  Mdaka told   www.safa.net.
