Thabo Cele: I'd wake up at 2am to play for Bafana
The 28-year-old midfielder has five national team caps but last played for his country in 2021 as part of the Olympic team.
Cele was selected in Bafana's squad for the COSAFA Cup, that lost in the final to defending-champions Angola on Sunday, but was withdrawn due to injury.
The determined former Fakel Voronezh player told FARPost: "Any opportunity I'm given to represent the country, I'd wake up even at 2am to play for the nation. But it's just that I've been struggling with an injury.
"I do watch Bafana games because it's football and I support the national team. I want to be part of that. When we grow up as young boys, we have dreams of representing the country.
"So, this is something I've been fighting for even with the Under-20s and U-23s. Even the soldiers, when they go to fight, wear a South African badge. So we want to be part of that.
"When I got that (COSAFA Cup) call-up, I was here in Durban, and instantly the doctor indicated that it was not possible (to join the team)."
