Suriname U20 Overview

The Soweto giants have been missing an effective player to help the team in tight matches that need individual brilliance. However, that can be solved if the Glamour Boys can secure a high-profile signing of an experienced player who has already delivered in Mzansi when he was playing for the Brazilians two seasons ago.

Despite inconsistent performance, the Tshwane giants have progressed to the last eight of the inter-club competition. The Brazilians have another chance to add a second continental star after coming so close last season. What now remains is to see whether Miguel Cardoso can successfully guide his team this time around, especially when his coaching abilities have been questioned.

Mamelodi Sundowns have reclaimed their dominance in the South African national team by contributing eight players to the national team. Orlando Pirates, who had recently enjoyed strong representation, now have six players in the squad. Both clubs are well represented, as South Africa are participating in international friendly matches against Panama.

Hugo Broos has always trusted the Masandawana keeper as his first choice even when he has other viable options. Going into the global showpiece, the Belgian is not expected to tinker with his goalkeeping department. However, those he will pick to deputise the Downs skipper is expected to be a hot topic in the debates.
