Botswana might host COSAFA Under-20 Again

Botswana might get the chance to host the Council of Southern African Football Associations (COSAFA) Metropolitan Under-20 tournament for a second year running.

COSAFA chief executive officer, Sue Destombes has said they are considering bringing the event back to Gaborone again. "We had a meeting at the end of January and we should be having an answer at the end of this month as to whether Botswana will host again or it will be another country. They (Botswana) did extremely well considering they were given little time to prepare. Botswana really took up the challenge. We believe if given more time, they could even do much better in organising this year's event," Destombes told Mmegi Sport.      

The annual event was held outside South Africa for the first time last year when Botswana were hosts. Zambia clinched the 2010 edition of the tournament; making it two in a row after beating Namibia 4-1.
