The Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (COSAFA) has invited Tanzania to participate in the 2019 COSAFA U-20 Women’s Championship.
The inaugural Championship will take place at the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality, South Africa between August 1-11th in South Africa.
Tanzania’s team to be handled by Bakari Shime has been placed in Group B alongside Botswana, Zambia and Eswatini (Swaziland).
