South Africa will take on Morocco in the CAF Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations final in Morocco on Sunday evening.
It will be South Africa’s second time appearing in the final, with their first coming back in 1997, where they were beaten 1-0 by the Moroccans.
So, how can South Africans watch the final? The good news is that the SABC will be carrying a live broadcast. The national broadcaster announced on Saturday that they had secured the rights to show the final.
Additionally, the game will also be shown on SuperSport, where a number of games have been broadcast already during the tournament. On top of that, fans can watch the game on the CAF TV YouTube channel.
The coverage of the final in Cairo will begin at 7.30pm, with the game kicking off at 8pm.
Amajita became the darlings of South African sport last week when they defeated Nigeria 1-0 to book their spot in Sunday’s final. Their performances at the tournament confirmed their place in the Under-20 World Cup in Chile later this year.
The final will pit South Africa, whose national teams are going through a footballing renaissance, against Morocco, whose senior side made history in Qatar in 2022 when they became the first African nation to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup.
The South Africans will be looking for their first title at Under-20 level, while Morocco will be hoping to win the tournament for the first time since 1997.
