As the year comes to a close, Coach Selekedi Mogale took a moment to reflect on the team’s remarkable performances.
“This year has been a fantastic one for the club, the boys in different divisions and in a way for myself. As the technical team, our goals for the team were clear: first to win multiple titles, and second to lay the groundwork for our players to make their mark in the junior national teams. I am incredibly proud of what we accomplished. In terms of forming a base for the Junior National Teams, I am thrilled to share that eight of our players were selected for the Pan-African U15 Schools team. Even more exciting, we now have three of our fourteen-year-olds in the U17 National boys’ team. These young players have jumped two age groups to represent the country, which far exceeded our expectations,” he said.
“It’s a great achievement to earn 91 points, and we have set a new record in the GDL U15 for the most points. Breaking this record will not be easy, as it will require us to drop no more than seven points throughout the entire season. We just need to be patient in how we add quality to strengthen the team and better our performances. For the players, it is about setting new individual goals, whether it is goal-scoring, defending, or passing. I am excited about the challenge, and I hope the players are too. The support that we have received from the Mamelodi Sundowns management is unbelievable. We have to repay the team for the believe that they have in us,” he said.
With the season now complete, the youth tactician is looking forward to the festive season, eager to unwind and spend quality time with his loved ones. He also shared that Christmas is one of his favorite holidays.
He concluded by stating that while the off-season is a time to step away from football, he plans to stay engaged by watching more football and preparing for the next season.
“I will be watching more football, replenishing my spirit and spending time with my family. I will also begin brainstorming ideas for the 2025 GDL season. It’s not easy to unwind after such a successful season, especially knowing that our rivals will be planning for us. So, while I’m cautious about that, I believe spending quality family time at home will be the perfect way to relax.”
