The tournament which will include eight teams will run from November 17th to the 1st of December.

The Chipolopolo surrendered a 2-1 lead two minutes from the final whistle after Zimbabwean striker Karma Billiat equalized for the Warriors.
The Warriors eventually took the lead in extra time with two goals coming through from Mamelodi Sundowns striker Karma Billiat.
