Coach David Notoane is leading the U-23 team with a new generation of stars.
Their qualification path starts with a two-legged qualifier against Angola‚ starting in Luanda‚ where they will seek to reach the 2019 African Under-23 Championships in Egypt in November‚ where they will have to finish in the top three in order to travel to Japan next year.
But the side‚ coach by Shakes Mashaba‚ found success while qualifying for the 2000 Olympics in Sydney‚ where they would go on to beat a star-studded Brazil 3-1 but still bow out in the first round. It would take 16 years for the team to return to the Olympics after that as they suffered one failure after another in the qualifiers.
The format was changed for the 2012 Olympics whereby the African Under-23 Championships would serve as the qualification path for teams.
