9 March 2023 – South Africa Under-23 men’s national team coach David Notoane has named a 29-member squad to face Congo (Brazzaville) in two crucial back-to-back CAF U23 Olympic Qualifiers this month.

Notoane’s charges will face the Congolese in the first match at Dobsonville Stadium on Thursday, 23 March 2023 (15h00) and then travel to Brazzaville to play the second leg at Massamba-Debat Stadium on 26/27 March.

“Obviously this squad consists of players who did well in our matches in the earlier qualifying rounds, and those who are doing very well right night now,” Notoane told www.www.safa.net. “It is an exciting group of players and the tough job is to now finalise the travelling party after this preliminary selection.”

The preliminary squad will be trimmed to 23 players when Notoane announces his final list next week.
