South African National U20 head coach Thabo Senong has named his 21-man squad for the 2017 CAF U20 AFCON tournament that will take place in Zambia from 26 February 2017 – 12 March 2017.

With less than 10 days to go before the kick off, Senong said his Amajita side has what it takes to take Africa by storm.

Amajita are in Group B, alongside Senegal, Cameroon and Sudan. They play their games in Ndola while Group A whose games will take place in Lusaka, consists of tournament hosts Zambia, Egypt, Mali and Guinea.

Four top teams from the tournament will automatically qualify for the 2017 FIFA U20 World Cup which will take place in South Korea from 20 May – 11 June 2017.
