COSAFA
Six-time winners Zimbabwe have been drawn alongside west African guest nation Senegal in the group stages of the historic 20th edition of the COSAFA Cup.
Their ‘group of death’ also features Mozambique and 2015 COSAFA Cup winners Namibia.
The Southern Africa football showpiece will be staged in Nelson Mandela Bay for the first time from July 7-18.
Hosts South Africa are also in an intriguing group that includes neighbours Lesotho, Botswana and Eswatini.
Defending champions Zambia will face Malawi and the island nations of Madagascar and Comoros in their first-round pool.
