Amajita coach Maqsood 'Macky' Chenia told KickOff.com that the tournament will be played during January 2010.

“The games will start on January 3 and run for a week. This is good for us as it will help the players gain international exposures. The other players that are based in Europe will also join the team at the tournament,” he said.

Chenia added that Amajita also competed in the tournament last year when they finished third and he wants to improve on that.

“We know it is tough playing there and you come up against the world's toughest teams, so it is good not only the players but also the country. We would like to win the tournament, but we will take one game at a time,” Chenia stated.

The tournament in Germany takes place after the Metropolitan Cosafa Under-20 Youth Championships which South Africa is hosting from December 6.
