FUTURE soccer superstars from Free State are due to test their potential against peers from across the globe.
Over the past few months, British Premiership club Bolton Wanderers head of international coaching and development programmes Dave Bailey and local coaches Sipho Mdluli, Moeketsi Mokhele and Prince Magagula have selected 40 schoolboys for the Bolton Wanderers International Soccer School trials.
This community and youth development project of Free State MEC for sports Dan Kgothule, the province's Phakisa Major Sport Events and Development Corporation, and Simpsport International kicked off in July with quarterfinals of the 2010 Hlasela Ka Bolo project, a youth and community development project through soccer.
Its other partners are the Department of Sports and Recreation and the Department of Education's school sports project.
At the weekend, Bojozi Manjoe, Kgauhelo Bosman, Eric Mngomezulu, Patrick Lekaota and Nkululeko Monaheng were chosen from the 40 youths to join other future soccer greats.
The trials will take place at an international soccer tournament to be hosted by Bolton Wanderers at the English club's 28000-seater Reebok Stadium in Lancashire next month.
The youth are from Dewetsdorp, Bloemfontein, Bethlehem, Odendaalsrus, Vrede, Virginia, Zastron and Botshabelo.
They were toasted by dignitaries who were led by Free State Premier Ace Magashule.
