 A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY

Mamelodi Sundowns medlefielder Teko Modise

Mamelodi Sundowns midlefielder and South African international Teko Modise has being given a once in a life time opportunity, the chance to play in a once off match with some of the worlds legends in football. He has being chosen to partictipate in a charity match in Nigeria organised by a sports and consultancy company, Macthmakers Consult Internationals.

Teko will play alongside the likes of former world players of the year and world cup winners Zinedin Zidane ( France) and Ronaldinho (Brazil). According to the Nigerian Football Association, the matchs objective is to draw attention to the problem of human trafficking in football. Other legends will include the likes of Didier Drogba, Samuel Eto'O, Emmanuel Adebayor, Jay jay Okocha and Nwankwo Kanu http://www.kickoff.com/. In an interview with kickoff.com, Modise said that this came as a shock to him and that it is an honour to him that he is being given such an opportunity. 

 Thiis invitation brings the following conclusions to  mind :

• South African football is starting to be recognised globally.
• South african players are capable of playing against some of the best players in the world.
• And that Teko Modise's form has improvec so much that he is recognised ad compared to global soccer legends. 

I feel a sense of pride as a South African football fan, knowing that one of our own is going to take centre stage with some of the biggest names in football. It is a great opportunity for Modise and a great image builder for South African football globally.
