Match administrators to benefit

Cosafa has a history of leaving a legacy wherever it stages tournaments, and this year will be no different, as Port Elizabeth plays host to both the senior and inaugural women's under-20 championship.

The tournaments are not just a platform for players and coaches to showcase their abilities, but also match officials and administrators, who can hone their skills and gain some vital experience.

Cosafa will this year be hosting workshops before and during the tournaments, aimed at providing local coaches, match officials and administrators with the tools and qualifications to take their careers forward.

Some of the events that will take place during the championship include a D-Licence four-day course for aspiring coaches and an emergency medicine course, which will be run by Fifa's tournament medical officer, Professor Efraim Kramer.

Then there is an administration and governance workshop, which will be presented by former Fifa development officer Ashford Mamelodi.
