The Young Warriors are set to travel to South Africa for the first leg on June 26 and will then be at home two weeks later.
Young Warriors coach, Friday Phiri, said they had wanted to go into camp for two weeks and then play a friendly match with any of the local premiership side before their departure to South Africa.
"Our aim was to go into camp earlier than this. We wanted to go into camp on the sixth and play a friendly match against any of the local Premiership side before we play South Africa but we are now only starting camp on Monday. It's a bit of a set back because going in camp early only shows how serious we are with this match.' said Phiri.
The Young Warriors welcome the duo of foreign based Tafadzwa "Fire"
Rusike and Khama Billiart who have not been taking part in the qualifiers as they were committed to their clubs. The Dynamos midfielder Archieford Gutu also makes a return after serving his suspension.
A win for the Young Warriors against South Africa will seal them a ticket to the All-Africa Games in Mozambique from September 3-18.
