POLOKWANE – The visit was part of the National Scouting Programme taking place in provinces across South Africa to identify talented and dedicated u/13 to u/20 girl soccer players.
To ensure maximum participation, the Capricorn region was requested to mobilise and encourage surrounding schools to ensure the participation and dedication of the best players in Limpopo.

The auditions were overseen by Banyana Banyana u/20 goalkeeper and coach, Cameron Cox, u/20 coach, Safa Assistant coach, Maud Khumalo, and Safa Limpopo Technical Officer, Sesky Modiba who helped the girls get ready.

An abundance of soccer talent was on display during the day as the girls tried their best to catch the eye of the scouts with their athleticism, teamwork and soccer skills.
“The best soccer girls who were scouted by Safa will be announced soon. It made us proud to see the girls play their hearts out in a sport they love,” Sesky said.
