"We we will use this opportunity to select a provisional 40-member [boys] squad that will take part in the Bayhill under-19 tournament billed for Cape Town during the Easter holidays next year,'' said Ngobeni.
The games will be played on a knockout format, with the semifinals taking place on on Saturday.
The final will be held on Sunday at the same venue.
The Ekurhuleni Metro Council will supply eight buses to ferry players from different areas to Katlehong on both days and will also provide refreshments.
