ASUNCION, Nov. 12 -- Paraguay will meet South Africa in the annual Nelson Mandela Challenge charity match next month, the South American nation's football association said on Monday.

The Nov. 20 clash at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban will raise funds for children in need.

It will mark the first time that Juan Carlos Osorio takes charge of Paraguay in an official match.

The Colombian was named coach of Paraguay in September, just weeks after leading Mexico to the last 16 of the World Cup in Russia.

Osorio has said he will promote youth while focusing on Paraguay's traditional strengths, such as physicality and supremacy in the air.

His 24-man squad includes newcomers Alejandro Romero, Christian Paredes, Hector Villalba, all of whom play in the United States.

Following is the squad:

Goalkeepers: Antony Silva (Cerro Porteno), Alfredo Aguilar (Olimpia), Santiago Rojas (Nacional).

Defenders: Fabian Balbuena (West Ham), Junior Alonso (Celta de Vigo), Bruno Valdez (America), Lorenzo Melgarejo (Spartak), Juan Patino (Olimpia), Santiago Arzamendia (Cerro Porteno), Omar Alderete (Huracan), Juan Escobar (Cerro Porteno).

Midfielders: Richard Ortiz (Olimpia), Rodrigo Rojas (Cerro Porteno), Cecilio Dominguez (America), Miguel Almiron (Atlanta United), Celso Ortiz (Monterrey), Alejandro Romero (New York Red Bullls), Christian Paredes (Portland Timbers), Hector Villalba (Atlanta United), Blas Caceres (General Diaz).
