With COSAFA having five participating countries at the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, Southern African teams now have a big point to prove to the rest of the continent at the tournament. KickOff's Lukhanyo Mtuta explains!
The Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (COSAFA) is a 14-member organsisation, including Angola, Botswana, Comoros, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Associate Member Reunion.
No nation from the region has won Afcon since Zambia's historic cup glory back in the 2012 edition. More than a decade later, no COSAFA side has even reached the final, as the west and northern African countries have established a strong hold over the competition.
