SuperSport United Football Club young defender Keenan Phillips formed part of the 20-man Bafana Bafana COSAFA squad that will participate in this year’s regional tournament.

The Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (COSAFA) Cup runs from Tuesday July 6 to Sunday July 18 and will be staged in the Eastern Cape Province at the Nelson Mandela Bay.

Bafana have been drawn in Group A along with neighbouring states such as Lesotho, Eswatini and Botswana.

The 21-year-old Cape Town-born-talented defender joined Matsatsantsa this past season and his performances did not go unnoticed hence the call-up.
