Amaglug-glug secure Olympic warm-up
The SA under-23 football side will take on the Brazilian Police Department on Friday in their final warm-up match ahead of the Olympics.
Amaglug-glug will have a chance to iron our their game plan and shake off some rust ahead of next week's Olympics.
Ahead of what promises to be a massive opening clash with hosts Brazil, SA U23 coach Owen da Gama hopes that their practice match will prove useful.
"We would have loved to play another country, and we did try to arrange with other countries, however, they were not available. We also made enquiries with local clubs but nothing came of it," Da Gama told SAFA.net.
"We will play the police team in order to accomplish our objectives, which are, to firstly assist the players in getting the feel of the high tempo, and, secondly, to acclimatise to the conditions of a real match situation."
Amaglug-glug face Brazil's U23s next Thursday. They then have fixtures against Denmark and Iraq.
