Johannesburg - South African Under-20 national coach Styles Phumo is building for the future.
Phumo will parade his new-look Amajita side in a friendly against Botswana in the first of the
two match series at Orlando stadium on Thursday and on Saturday. Both matches kick-off at
15:15.
Phumo's top priority is to form a new team to defend the Cosafa Cup trophy later this year.
Said Phumo: "Our main objective is to build a new team as the core of the players have
moved up to the Under-23s.
"These players will be learning what will be expected of them when they are called for national
duty."
They will also discover the importance of being a professional player."
Phumo believes players who currently play for the Under-20s have an excellent chance of being
involved with Bafana Bafana in the 2010 World Cup.
