Due to their internal competitions calendar, Angola decided to send their under-20 national team to play in this tournament [1][2] and South Africa will play with a "Development XI"; therefore matches involving Angola and South Africa will not count towards FIFA ranking according to FIFA.[3]
South Africa won the tournament defeating Mozambique 2-1 in the final.
