The competition will take place in Botswana.

To demonstrate his belief in young players, Lwandamina has combined some of the best players from the Under-17 FIFA World Cup Qatar 2025 competition, including goalie Christo Chitambala, captain Jonathan Kalimina, and Abel Nyirongo.
Along with several of the best players in their local league. Albert Kangwanda, who is vying for the golden boot and has already scored 10 goals, is a respectable representative as a local player.
