Kawata to lead Mauritius at Cosafa Women’s Championship

Mauritius return to the COSAFA Women’s Championship this year and have big ambitions under coach Kofi Kawata for the regional showpiece event that will be staged in Nelson Mandela Bay from July 31-August 11.

The Indian Ocean islanders, who missed last year’s competition at the same venue, have been drawn in Group B along with Zambia, Namibia and Botswana. Kawata, who hails from the Democratic Republic of Congo, was recently installed as coach of Lady Club M, having previously worked in the Mauritius Super League with ASPL 2000.
