2020 Tokyo Olympic Games SA Football Team: Where Are They Now?
Players of Team South Africa pose for a team photograph prior to the Men's First Round Group A match between South Africa and Mexico on day five of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games at Sapporo Dome on 28 July 2021 in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan.In light of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games kicking off on Wednesday, we reflect on the football team that represented South Africa at the previous Olympics.
Unfortunately for South African football fans, Mzansi won't be represented on both female and male football competitions, with Banyana Banyana narrowly missing out on qualifying to the Super Falcons of Nigeria. Despite boasting a talented squad, including the late Luke Fleurs, this team failed to register a single point at the Tokyo Olympics, which was a new, unflattering personal record.
Under the tutelage of Owen Da Gama, that team boasted stars such as Itumeleng Khune, Eric Mathoho Keagan Dolly, Rivaldo Coetzee, Mothobi Mvala, and Lebo Mothiba among others.
