Young Foster calls for more Bafana Bafana footballers playing abroad

Bafana Bafana should have more football players living and playing abroad rather than the local Premier Soccer League.

BAFANA BAFANA PLAYERS NEED ADDED EXPOSURE

According to Lyle Foster, who plays his football for KVC Westerlo in Belgium, more of his South African brothers in the Bafana Bafana team are needed in Europe.

“I definitely hope the appetite is there for them to play in Europe because the gap is so huge between our league and the leagues in Europe,” Foster said to SowetanLIVE.

“The competitiveness and the way they are being run in terms of professionalism is different.

“I hope we can export more players, and I believe that will strengthen the national team when we compete at higher level tournaments and qualifiers.

“We will have the experience of facing people from different countries and different internationals rather than always playing in the PSL against one another for five years.

“Playing in Europe does make your skin tougher and you are more ready for the challenges you are going to face,” the player said.
