Mamelodi Sundowns Brazilian playmaker Lucas Ribeiro is the latest South American who has expressed his desire to represent Bafana Bafana at international level.
Ribeiro, who has been a revelation since joining Sundowns at the beginning of last season, has never represented his home country of Brazil at any level, would only be eligible to play for South Africa in 2028.
On Thursday, the 26-year-old South American said should he get an offer to play for South Africa, he would be willing to consider it.
Unfortunately at the point in time, at my door, I have not received a call or an offer or request to play for Bafana Bafana, but it would be a pleasure to represent South Africa because I am playing here, the national team is doing well, Ribeiro was quoted by .
National team is the highest level for any football player to be in that space in their career and also because Bafana has many players from Sundowns that are playing there, so for me if that opportunity presented itself it would be great.
