ALL the players taking part in the TotalEnergies Under-17 Africa Cup of Nations 2025 Cosafa qualifier in Johannesburg, South Africa this week will undergo Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) assessments to confirm their eligibility to compete.
This will be done under the watchful eye of leading sports physician Thulani Ngwenya, who is a Confederation of African Football (CAF) medical commission member and Cosafa Medical Officer.
Ngwenya, who is a medical doctor is a leading expert on the African continent and has taken a more hands-on role with the process this year.
The tests are used to ensure the players are within the required birth date range for the competition, which is players born after January 1, 2008.
