The organisers of the 2017 COSAFA Women’s Championship have made a change to the final round of fixtures to be played at the regional championship in Bulawayo from September 13-24.
In order for the final matches in each pool to be played at the same time, both Group A and Group C will now conclude on September 17. Group B will be concluded the following day.
The final matches in Group A will both kick-off at 14h00 and will be Zambia vs Madagascar (Barbourfields Stadium) and hosts Zimbabwe vs Malawi (Luveve Stadium).
Both matches in Group C will start at 16h30 and are South Africa vs Botswana (Luveve Stadium) and Namibia vs Lesotho (Barbourfields Stadium).
The final pool matches in Group B on September 18 take place at 14h00 and see Mauritius vs Mozambique (Luveve Stadium) and Kenya vs Swaziland (Barbourfields Stadium).
The top team in each pool advances to the semifinals as well as the best-placed runner-up.
The semifinals will both be played on September 21, with the bronze medal match two days later and the final on September 24 at 15h00. All of those matches will be played at Barbourfields Stadium.
