Amajita Set For AFCON U20 Final Showdown Against Morocco
The stage is set for the highly anticipated final of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Under-20 Championship, with Amajita learning that they will face Morocco on Sunday at the 30 June Stadium.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 20:00, and the excitement is building as the South African U20 national team prepares to take on their Moroccan counterparts.
This will be the second time Amajita has faced Morocco in the final of the AFCON U20, with their previous encounter in 1997 resulting in a 1-0 loss to the hosts.
Determined to make amends, Amajita will be looking to bring home their first-ever AFCON U20 title.
The semifinal matches on Thursday evening saw Amajita secure a hard-fought 1-0 win over Nigeria, while Morocco edged out host nation Egypt to book their spot in the final.
Both semifinal matches showcased the talent and skill displayed in the tournament.
In addition to the final, Nigeria and Egypt will face off in the third-place playoff on Sunday, also at the 30 June Stadium. The match will determine which team will claim the bronze medal in the competition.

This achievement highlights the exceptional talent and potential of these young players, and the AFCON U20 has served as a platform for them to showcase their skills on the continental stage.

Will Amajita be able to overcome their Moroccan opponents and claim their first AFCON U20 title? The nation will be watching with bated breath as these talented young players take to the pitch to battle it out for continental supremacy.
