South Africa is still in the race for a spot in the round of 16 at the U20 World Cup Chile 2025.

Amajita sit third in Group E with 3 points, level with France (3 pts), trailing the United States (6 pts) and ahead of New Caledonia (0 pts).

The South Africans take on the United States on Sunday, October 5 at 8pm GMT, hoping to deliver a strong performance and keep their knockout stage hopes alive. Several scenarios could see them qualify, at least as one of the best third-placed teams.

Here’s South Africa’s likely starting eleven against the United States: Lowe – Smith, Tiwani, Nkwali, Rapoo – Maku, Kekana – April, Vilakazi, Phil – Magidigidi.

It’s worth noting that the reigning African U20 champions face a tough challenge, as the Americans have already thrashed New Caledonia (9-1) before taking France’s scalp (3-0).
