From a total of twenty seven selected players TUT managed to have the most number of players in the squad, "it came as shock to me that so many players are selected from my team, TUT has never had more than one player selected for the national team. That is why I was shocked to see seven of my players on the list, which is more than any other institution in the country" said TUT Coach Tebogo Mokae. The University of Pretoria follows TUT with a total of six players.

TUT players Mahlatsi Mogola, Thwana Shange, Koketso Tlailane, Tshepiso Tsagane, Letago Madiba, Bontle Chabaesele and Banyana Banyana player Mary Ntsweng who was the only player to make it last year are amongst the selected players. Playing in the tournament will bring exposure for the players, "it is a start for all the players that were selected to get recognised. It is a great opportunity especially for TUT players we should get support from everyone I would also like to see two three players making it for Banyana Banyana Trials", said Thwana Shange

Bontle Chabaesele hopes that more opportunities will arise from the tournament," This is the beginning from here I would like to take it to the top maybe playing for Banyana Banyana or even playing overseas". She is also pleased with the work that is done by her coach," I am so proud of our coach because seven players have been selected to represent our country in Senegal"

According to Mokae this shows that their standard of soccer is improving, "I am very happy and proud of the girls and I have no doubt they will represent us with pride, this goes to show that there is a lot of improvement from our ladies, said Mokae.
