15 January 2015 - It’s all systems go for Men’s Under Under-20 National Team (Amajita) as they attempt to make a huge statement in the annual Commonwealth Cup that opens in St. Petersburg, Russia on Friday, 16 January in which 12 teams will take part, mostly from the former Soviet Union.

 

The tournament could not have come at a better time as the Under-20 are busy preparing for the CAF African Youth tournament that is scheduled for Senegal in March this year.

 

“This tournament gives us an ideal preparation for the African Youth tournament. We should leave here knowing what our chances are going to Senegal but as a technical team, we have set our goals high.


“We should go to Senegal to, not only make it among the top four and qualify for the World Cup in New Zealand, but win the tournament. Why not? We are aiming for the highest and anything is possible. That is how ambitious we are,” said stand-in coach David Notoane.

 

Amajita got a boost this week with the arrival in Russia of Supersport goalkeeper Dumisani Msibi who missed the Qatar friendly.

 

Captain Motjeka Madisha said the spirit in the camp was amazing and that the team would stun a few countries in this Commonwealth Cup.

 

“We have come here to make a statement and hone our preparations for Senegal and I can see from the eyes of the players that they can’t wait for the kick off.

 

“They are hurting from the result in Qatar but sometimes, if one is to go forward you need to be jolted a bit. We will do well here, I promise,” said Madisha.

 

South Africa open their account against Lithuania on Saturday before taking on Tajikistan the following day before rounding off their group stage matches with a tie against Kazakhstan.
