The 2016 COSAFA Cup (known as Castle Lager COSAFA Cup Namibia 2016 for sponsorship reasons)[1] was the 16th edition of the COSAFA Cup, an international football competition consisting of national teams of member nations of the Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (COSAFA). Originally, it was to be held in Windhoek, Namibia during May 2016,[2] however the tournament was rescheduled to avoid a clash with the South African Premier Soccer League and took place in June 2016.[3]
