EXCLUSIVE: Quinton Fortune urges Bafana Bafana stars to head to Europe after historic World Cup run
Following Bafana Bafana’s historic World Cup performance, Manchester United legend Quinton Fortune believes South African players must move to Europe to take the national team to the next level.
South Africa achieved history at the FIFA World Cup by reaching the knockout rounds for the first time in their nation’s soccer history. However, with coach Hugo Broos retiring, the future of the national team remains uncertain. Bafana Bafana legend Quinton Fortune, speaking on TV, encouraged the players to congratulate themselves and continue striving for more success.
Fortune believes that the players must now look to Europe to further develop their skills. He emphasized that the world's top players primarily play in Europe's top leagues, such as the Premier League and La Liga, to improve their game. Fortune's own career trajectory exemplifies this, as he moved from South Africa to join Tottenham Hotspur's youth academy and later excelled at Manchester United.
He urged the current generation of South African players to follow a similar path to achieve their full potential and contribute to the growth of the national team.
