South African Hockey is proud to announce the South African squad for the upcoming FIH Hockey Women\u2019s Junior World Cup in Santiago, Chile (1\u201313 December 2025). This will mark South Africa\u2019s ninth appearance at the global junior showpiece, having secured qualification earlier this year by being crowned African Champions in Namibia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seven players return to Chile after featuring at the 2023 edition, including Olympians Paris-Gail Isaacs, Ntsopa Mokoena, and <\/span>Taheera<\/span> Augousti. The squad will, however, be without Jenna <\/span>Blaauw<\/span> due to injury, opening the door for a new star to emerge on the international stage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Drawn in Pool D alongside Austria, China, and England, the South Africans know the importance of finishing strongly in the group phase of the newly expanded 24-team tournament, with higher pool placings opening pathways to more competitive playoff brackets.<\/span><\/p>\n

SA Hockey High Performance Executive Reggie Smith expressed his excitement about the balance within the group:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis team reflects the exciting pipeline of South African hockey. With a core of experienced players from the last Junior World Cup and fresh talent pushing through, we believe this squad has the quality to compete and to inspire. They will carry our hopes proudly on the world stage.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Fans will be able to follow the tournament on Watch.Hockey, with further broadcast details to be confirmed in due course.<\/span><\/p>\n
