Amajita's coach proudly talks about his team's achievement!
It was a good night for the South African fans after the Amajita team managed to reach the CAF U-020 Cup of Nations semifinals yesterday, where they will face the Nigerian national team, which is armed with a great qualification against the Senegalese national team.
What's the big accomplishment for the South African U20 team?
Speaking on the atmosphere of the match, Amajita coach Raymond Mdaka emphasized that his team did their best and gave everything they had to the team and that they achieved the biggest achievement by reaching the finals of this year's U-20 World Cup in Chile.
The coach also talked about how the talk between the two teams started before the semifinal game when they both stayed in the same hotel, which will make the situation even more challenging ahead of the semifinal on Thursday.
What exactly did the South African coach have to say about his team?
Speaking about this achievement, the coach emphasized that this is the best achievement of his coaching career, and expressed his happiness saying: I've achieved some special things as a coach. I took Marumo Gallants to the Confederation Cup semifinals where they lost to Yanga of Tanzania in 2023 and I won the Cosafa Cup with this team in October, But I regard taking this team to the World Cup as the highest feat of my coaching career. Qualifying a team for the World Cup is the biggest thing in football. It wasn't an easy route, especially because we were in a group of five teams, which means we had to play four matches and we passed that test by qualifying for the quarterfinals. And when we got there we knew we were one step away from going to the World Cup, so the boys gave their all — and here we are.
