The South Africa Under-20 national football team, known as Amajita, represents the nation in international youth competitions and serves as a crucial feeder for the senior Bafana Bafana side. They do not have a fixed home ground, playing matches across the country. The team is administered by the South African Football Association (SAFA). Their history is marked by participation in CAF U-20 Africa Cup of Nations tournaments and the pursuit of FIFA U-20 World Cup qualification. A key era was their runner-up finish in the 1997 African Youth Championship and subsequent World Cup appearance. The modern Amajita squad is typically composed of the most promising talents from the PSL and overseas academies, with recent campaigns focused on rebuilding and developing a cohesive style under the guidance of a youth-focused head coach. The team's culture is one of national pride and development, with success measured by player progression as much as tournament results. This team is the incubator for South Africa's football future.
