Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>The Cosafa Under-20 Women\u2019s Championship will make a welcome return to the calendar this year with the second-ever edition to be staged in Gauteng from 20-24 November.<\/b><\/p>\n

It is one of a record five women\u2019s tournaments that will be staged by Cosafa in 2024, cementing the organisation\u2019s reputation as the leading zone on the African continent when it comes to the development of the female game.<\/p>\n

Cosafa has already hosted the recently completed Cosafa Women\u2019s Championship, CAF Women\u2019s Champions League | Cosafa Qualifier and Girls African Schools Football Championship tournament in the under-15 age-group.<\/p>\n

Still to come is the Cosafa Women\u2019s Under-20 Championship and Cosafa Women\u2019s Under-17 Championship, which is scheduled for Maputo, Mozambique from 5- 14 December.<\/p>\n

All these tournaments are vital for the growth of women\u2019s football on and off the pitch, including the development of coaches, referees and administrators.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s under-20 competition returns to the calendar after a five-year break and will feature four sides in a round-robin competition.<\/p>\n

After each side has completed three matches, the teams placed first and second on the table will meet in a final. The third and fourth-placed sides will clash for the bronze medal.<\/p>\n

Hosts South Africa, Lesotho, Mozambique and Zimbabwe have all put their names forward to take part, meaning there will be a new champion after East African guest nation Tanzania lifted the trophy in the inaugural championship in 2019. \u2013 Cosafa.com<\/p>\n
