Defending champions Zambia will be challenged by 12 other nations at the 2014 COSAFA Senior Challenge Cup to be hosted by Botswana later this year.
COSAFA said in a statement issued on Monday that 13 of the 14 nations who make the up the Southern African football body will be represented at the regional showpiece that will run from September 13-28.
The regional football body said only Comoros Islands have declined an invitation prior to the deadline.
“With the deadline passed for entries into the 2014 COSAFA Cup to be staged in Botswana later this year, 13 of the 14 nations who make the up the Southern African football body will be represented at the regional showpiece.”
“Only Comoros Islands have declined an invitation, citing travel difficulties, offering a near full-house of COSAFA nations for the tournament. That is one better than the 2013 tournament in Zambia, where both Comoros and Madagascar were missing. The Malagasy have confirmed their participation for this year.”
COSAFA said it likely that there will also be at least one guest nation from outside the region taking part.
The COSAFA Cup returns this year after the successful hosting of the 2013 edition in Zambia last July, with the host nation defeating Zimbabwe in the final to record their fourth tournament win.

If you don’t care about football or COSAFA for that matter why the heck do you waste time reading the article and commenting at length on the article?
And you think you can make friends with Mushota. See if by end of day you have the same opinion.
