The South African under-23 squad has joined Banyana Banyana on their way to South Africa after a disappointing showing in the 2016 Rio Olympics.
The under-23 squad would return home winless after failing to collect maximum points in their group A matches. Owen da Gama’s men drew their opening game against Brazil’s star-studded team, this was followed by a 1-0 defeat to Denmark, and their last game against Iraq ended in a 1-1 draw.
This is how the Group (A) final table looked.

Despite bowing out of the tournament earlier that expect there are few positives which have come from the team.
Mamelodi Sundown midfielder, Keegan Dolly and Chippa United forward, Menzi Masuku have been the centre of speculation interest after their impressive showings at the tournament.
Keegan Dolly was probably S.A's best player by far standards in the tournament. Not only was Dolly South Africa's best player, but he was also crowd's favourite in Brazil but maybe for other reasons.
Guarana Dolly is a cheap drink available in Brazil since the tournament began the midfielder has become a Meme for sharing the same name with the drink.
