South Africa's Under-23 team bowed out of the 2023 U-23 Africa Cup of Nations, and also the Paris Olympics, in the final round of qualifying on away goals as they drew 0-0 in their second leg match against Congo in Brazzaville on Monday evening.
The South Africans ultimately paid for being unable to win Thursday's home leg at Dobsonville Stadium, which they drew 1-1.
The eight-team U-23 Nations Cup in Morocco in June and July serves as the qualifier for the 2024 Paris Olympics men's football tournament. The non-qualification is a blow to the future prospects of the next generation of South African footballers and comes as Bafana Bafana face failure to qualify for the senior Nations Cup if they cannot beat Liberia in Monrovia on Tuesday .
