SWAZILAND
Swaziland have reached the semifinals of the Cosafa Castle Cup on three occasions, proving their potential for upset results. In 2003 Sihlangu reached the last four but then lost to eventual winners Zimbabwe. In 2002 they were beaten in the semifinals by South Africa, who also went on to win the competition, and in 1999 they were also semifinalists but were narrowly defeat by Namibia on post-match penalties after a 1-1 draw. Ironically before 1999, they had never won a game in the competition but are now always considered a threat in the Cosafa Senior Challenge. In 2004 Swaziland reached a competition low when they lost their quarter-final tie at home to Zimbabwe by a competition record score line of 5-0. The match was not completed after a crowd riot brought the match to a premature halt. In 2003, Swaziland played host to the African under-17 championships. Their last two outings have yielded wins and creditable draws (in fact they have not been beaten in normal play in their last six matches), but they have failed to make it past the first round group stages.
