South Africa Form

South Africa have a very young squad at the 2025 COSAFA Cup, so they have done well to get through the group stage.

It didn’t start too well for the tournament hosts as they went down 1-0 to Mozambique in their opener. They bounced back with a 2-0 win over Zimbabwe which put them back within shooting distance of advancing.

A result was required in their final game and the hosts held on, drawing 0-0 against the far more experienced Mauritius.

South Africa Squad

Goalkeepers: Mondli Mpoto, Olwethu Mzimela, Samukelo Xulu

Defenders: Thabang Matuludi, Keanu Cupido, Thabo Moloisane, Rushwin Dortley, Athenkosi Mcaba, Malebogo Modise, Sergio Kammies

Comoros Form

Comoros qualified with ease for the semi-final after having just three teams in their pool.

After beating Zambia 1-0 in their opener, Comoros just needed a point against Botswana, something they achieved with a 0-0 draw.

This is also a young squad for Comoros as their first-choice players played a friendly on Monday against Kosovo.
