Maseko Called Up to South Africa's National Team for World Cup Preparations

Tapelo Maseko, a winger for AEL, has been called up to the South African national team for their upcoming friendly matches ahead of the World Cup. The 22-year-old has scored two goals in eight appearances for AEL, one of which was crucial for his team's qualification to the cup. Maseko's call-up is a recognition of his good form, while his teammate, Luther Singh, and Mihlali Mayambela of Omonia were left out of the squad, the latter due to injury. The selection of Maseko demonstrates the coach's confidence in his abilities and the expectation that he will contribute to the team's preparation for the World Cup.
