2022 COSAFA Cup Teams and Fixtures Revealed as Annual Tournament Takes Place in Durban

• The city of Durban in KwaZulu-Natal is gearing up for what should be another exciting edition of the COSAFA Cup
• This will be the 18th time the tournament is held since the first event all the way back in 1997 when Zimbabwe won it
• It will be the second time that South Africa hosts the event, with last year's competition hosted in Gqeberha where Bafana Bafana won it

Seychelles and Botswana will have the honour of kicking off the 2022 COSAFA Cup when they clash in a Group A encounter at the King Zwelithini Stadium in Durban on July 5.

This match will be the start of 23 games taking place over 13 days as the best of the southern African region, joined by guest west African nation Senegal, gather to contest the coveted regional trophy.

Hosts South Africa are the defending champions, having won the trophy in a home tournament last year in Gqeberha, as reported by SuperSport.

Angola will take in Comoros later that day in the other match in the pool, while the Group B action starts the next day, 6 July, when Mauritius tackles Eswatini at the same venue. Lesotho will square off after this encounter.

The first four days of action will be held at the King Zwelithini Stadium, with the final round of pool games, which will be played concurrently, unfolding at Princess Magogo Stadium. These group matches are so that the two group winners can qualify for the quarterfinals, where the highest-ranked six teams have been seeded.

The four quarterfinals will all be played at the latter venue, with Madagascar to take on 2015 winners Namibia on July 12, and Zambia to play the winner of Group A later that same evening. July 13 will see Senegal take on the winner of Group B, and hosts and holders South Africa meet Mozambique, the team they beat in the semifinals last year.

The final day of the tournament on July 17 will be a busy one with the plate final, third-place play-off and cup final all to be staged. These will also take place at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.
