South Africa U23 coach Notoane hoping Fifa will raise age limit for 2021 Olympic Games

As the Olympic Games have been scheduled to be staged next year owing to the coronavirus pandemic, South Africa U23 coach David Notoane has expressed relief in the fact the age limit could be raised.

It is reported that the Fifa working group has recommended the age limit could be raised to accommodate the players who would be 24 by the time the games get underway next year.

The Mamelodi Sundowns MultiChoice Diski Challenge (MDC) manager believes the pandemic was not anticipated and explains he will take overage players for the tournament set to be held in Japan.
