Future Stars Ready for Challenge as SA U18 Girls Face Incoming Dutch Tour

On Dec 5, 2025

A strong group of 26 players will gather in Stellenbosch on Saturday as the first South African U18 Girls squad was named for two matches against a touring side from the Netherlands later this month.

The squad was chosen at the end of the U18 Elite Player Development (EPD) camp for girls, which was held in Riebeek Kasteel this week. The two matches will take place on 12 and 16 December.

Former Springbok wing Jongi Nokwe from Western Province has been appointed as the team’s head coach, with Aneesah Adams (Maties / WP) and Lesego Malebadi (UJ / Lions) named as his assistants.

“This is a big development in our women’s programme and to see the excitement amongst the girls, and the enormous amounts of hard work they put in this week, bodes well for the future,” said Nokwe.
