The National Football Team will be exempt from the group stage of the 21st edition of the COSAFA Cup, which this year will be played in Durban, South Africa, from July 5 to 17, reports Folha de Maputo.

According to the source that cites the organization of the event, the draw will be held on the 14th of this month, at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.

Thus the national team, like South Africa, Zambia, Madagascar, Namibia and the invited Senegal, will only enter the quarter-finals, where they must meet the two best classified in groups "A" and "B".

The competition will have the participation of eight teams, divided into two groups A and B, with the first place in each series going to the quarter-finals.
