The heroics of the South African Under-23s at the age-limit Afcon has not only earned the team a golden ticket to next year’s Olympics in Japan, but the feat in Egypt unlocked possible elevations to Bafana Bafana.

The Under-23s beat Ghana in a dramatic penalty shoot-out in Cairo, Egypt, on Friday to claim the bronze medal and the last spot in the junior continental championships.

“Now that we have qualified, we’ll have our programme and Bafana will have theirs [for the 2021 Afcon and 2022 World Cup qualifiers]. I am sure coach Molefi will do just that if he sees it fit and if there are no clashes between the programmes,” said Notoane. “This is the golden generation because all of them have played at international level – from the Under-17s to the Under-23s and now they have just qualified for the Olympics,” said Ntseki, who guided most of the players during his tenure as coach of the national Under-17s, who also qualified for the 2015 World Cup.
