Ascoli Calcio 1898 FC U19 Overview

Abafana Bes'thende tactician has issued a glowing endorsement of his squad’s international credentials, insisting that several of his players are ready to make the step up to the national team. While only one Arrows star made the cut for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, the tactician believes it is only a matter of time before more of his charges catch the eye of national team boss Pitso Mosimane.

The 27-year-old is facing a pivotal crossroads in his career as his contract with Abafana Bes'thende approaches its conclusion. The Ivorian forward, who has become a key figure in the Premier Soccer League, is now being encouraged to prioritise his financial future while his stock remains high.

Former Amakhosi star Mokete Tsotetsi has delivered a scathing assessment of the club's current defensive struggles, claiming the backline lacks the requisite confidence and leadership. The retired defender, who now coaches at the University of Free State, voiced his concerns following a series of shaky performances from the Soweto giants’ defence.

As soon as the ball hit the back of the net against Siwelele the debate began: did he shoot or was it a wayward cross? Now the 21-year-old has revealed the truth.
