My Plea to South African Football Fans

As our U17 National Team gets ready to play their first game of the 2026 U17 Africa Cup Nations, I plead with you not to watch or analyze them through the lens of senior football, they are kids who are still developing and this tournament is part of their development so please don’t expect them to be perfect.

Some of them will be playing international football for the first time so there will be nerves and they will make mistakes, please be kind to them.

I’m not saying they must not be criticized but let it be constructive criticism in a manner that seeks to encourage rather than to destroy.

Thank You 🙏🏾
