Africa U-20 Cup of Nations Heads to South Africa in 2025

South Africa has been awarded the hosting rights for the 2025 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations, a major milestone for the country’s football enthusiasts. The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has entrusted South Africa with the responsibility of hosting the prestigious tournament, which is scheduled to take place in January 2025.

This will be the second time South Africa will be hosting the Africa U-20 Cup of Nations, with the country previously hosting the competition 13 years ago. Nigeria emerged victorious in the 2009 edition, defeating Senegal in the final. The Flying Eagles, Nigeria’s U-20 team, will need to navigate the WAFU B qualifying tournament in Togo next month to secure their spot in South Africa 2025.

The Flying Eagles will be looking to improve on their performance last year, where they finished third at the U20 AFCON in Egypt. The team’s determination and skills will be put to the test as they aim to make a strong showing in the tournament.

South Africa’s hosting of the Africa U-20 Cup of Nations 2025 is a significant development for the country’s football scene, and fans are eagerly anticipating the excitement that comes with hosting a major international tournament.
