Players to Watch at the 2016 Men’s Olympic Football Tournament.
South Africa
Thabo Matlaba might be someone we see during the 2016 Rio Olympics.
At the moment,Thabo Matlaba plays for both the South African National team and the Orlando Pirates. Matlaba is often praised as being a very hard working defender and I expect that to cary over even more as he represents his country in the Olympics. At 28 he is older that the U23 limit, but the new rule allows for the team to have 3 players over the age limit and he will be one of them.
