BEST FEELING: Luke Le Roux
Sweden-based midfielder Luke le Roux says his maiden Bafana Bafana call-up is a dream come true.
The 22-year-old started his career with Stellenbosch, making his senior debut as a substitute in the 2017 Nedbank Cup before moving to Swedish first-division club Valbergs from SuperSport United in 2019.
With 67 league appearances in Europe now, the South African youth international gets his kans to impress coach Hugo Broos as he looks to make the team that will take on Sierra Leone in a FNB Stadium friendly on Saturday and Botswana four days later.

Boasting the ability to play as an anchor or playmaker in the middle of the park, Le Roux says of his call-up: “It’s the biggest achievement of my life, so far.
“As a team we’re going to work really hard to prepare for the upcoming games.
“For me it’s the proudest moment of my life and it’s an unbelievable feeling.
“From my perspective, being here is the best feeling.”
Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has reiterated his earlier calls for professionalism at SAFA to improve. He says there are a lot of issues to work on.
