The stage is set for a thrilling quarterfinal clash at the CAF U-20 Africa Cup of Nations, Egypt 2025, as South Africa prepares to take on DR Congo on Monday, 12 May.
South Africa, known as the Amajita, advanced from Group A, showcasing resilience and tactical discipline throughout the group stages. Their journey included a notable victory over Tanzania and competitive performances against formidable opponents like Egypt and Sierra Leone.
DR Congo, on the other hand, emerged from Group C, demonstrating attacking prowess and determination. A standout performance was their 3-1 triumph over the Central African Republic, where forward Makanza netted a brace, highlighting their offensive capabilities.
This quarterfinal encounter is more than just a battle for a semifinal spot; it’s a contest between two nations eager to make a significant impact on the continental stage.
With both teams eyeing a place in the semifinals and a potential berth at the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile later this year, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
