South Africa U-20 head coach Thabo Senong says his charges are ready to face Kenya in an  international friendly match this afternoon.

The Amajita who have been in camp since Sunday, 20 November will meet Kenya on Saturday,26 November 2016 at the Tsakanae Stadium in Brakpan in a match due to start at 1600hrs.

Ahead of today match , Senong has identified areas to beef up in the team as they prepare for the friendly and regional championship.

According to the coach, he will need to work on the structure of the team mostly on the defence.

South Africa beat ABC Motsepe League side Baberwa FC of Guateng 2-1 in a practise match played on Wednesday.

“It’s always good to get a win when you play such games so that you go into the real match high on confidence. It was a good exercise but I am not happy with the goal we conceded and we will have to work on the structure of the team and their behaviour when we defend,” said Senong.

“The boys we have selected don’t have international experience and the Kenya match will surely help in that regard. We will also be able to identify the weaknesses in the team so we can start working on them after that international friendly,” added Senong.

“We are also glad we are playing Kenya because they are a very solid side. We have seen some of their videos, including the recent clash where they faced Sudan. They are physically superior, tactically very aware and are one of the best sides in the CECAFA region and that is why we chose them. They will give us the needed challenge because they have matured players and that means a good test for our boys. But I think we are ready for Kenya.”

The South Africans will continue with camp after the clash today clash getting ready for the start of regional championships.
