Tshwane A booked their place in the final with a commanding 41-24 semi-final win over Dr KK A, while Harry Gwala edged Johannesburg A 35-33 in a tight second semi-final. When it mattered most, Harry Gwala found another gear, pulling clear to seal a seven-goal victory and the under-19 A crown.

The United States national football team’s brief history

Foundation and early World Cup success (1885–1950)

The United States played its first international match in 1885 in New Jersey, losing it to Canada 1 -0. In 1916, the team recorded its first official international victory after defeating Sweden 3 -2 in Stockholm. Also in 1930, they participated in the FIFA World Cup and finished in third position, which remains their best-ever position. They finished third overall, which remains their best-ever World Cup result. In 1950, the Americans shocked the football world by defeating England 1-0 in a match famously known as the Miracle on Grass.

Decline and return to the World stage (1960–1999)

The national team struggled for relevance during the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s, missing several World Cups. In 1988, FIFA awarded the United States hosting rights for the 1994 FIFA World Cup. After that, in 1990, the USA qualified for the World Cup, ending a 40-year absence from the tournament. In the World Cup 1994 version, the Americans advanced to the knockout stage for the first time since 1930. The decade ended on a disappointing note as the team lost all three matches at the 1998 World Cup in France.

Modern growth and the golden generation (2000–2026)

In the 2002 FIFA World Cup the United States reached the quarterfinals. During the 2010 World Cup competitions, Landon Donovan’s made an historic goal against Algeria which helped the team to move to the round 16. They also qualified for the 2014 World Cup. Led by Weston McKennie, Christian Pulisic, and Tyler Adams they failed to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Being the Co-hosts for the 2026 competitions the team has made history in its first match after winning 4 -1 against Paraguay.
