Amajita head coach Raymond Mdaka has named a strong starting line-up for tonight’s much anticipated AFCON U20 final against Morocco at 30 June Stadium.
A phrase that says ‘it’s not about how you start but how you finish’ could be reborn today after Amajita started the tournament on a bad note losing 1-0 to Egypt despite dominating the game.

Since then, Amajita have pushed as far as reaching the final and confirmed their qualification for the U20 FIFA World Cup which will be hosted by Chile. On their road to reach the final, they eliminated DRC and Nigeria in the quarterfinals and semifinals, respectively after topping the group that had Sierra Leone, Zambia, Egypt and Tanzania.
Morocco’s youth development seems to be going in the right direction after their U17 were crowned AFCON champions just a month ago and the U20s would want to follow suit.
Here is how they lineup:
Amajita Starting XI: Smythe-Lowe, Timba, Rapoo, Nkwali, April, Kekana, Ah Shene, Vilakazi, Smith, Maku, Sibiya
Subs: Ratisani, Mazhamba, Taunyane, Autata, Letlhaku, Abrahams, Modiba, Langelihle, Mahlangu
Morocco U20 Starting XI: Benchaouch, Koutoune, Boudlal, Baouf, Zahouani, Essadak, Lallaoui, Maamma, Dahak, Boumassaoudi, El-Abdellaoui
Subs: Gomis, El Hannach, Mesbahi, Habri, El Makkaoui, Aouad, Boukamir, Arguigue, Kharroubi, Boayar
