Two of Cape Town's talented soccer youngsters - striker Romano Scott and midfielder Mkhanyiseli "Makalakes" Siwahla - have been invited to a trial at top Spanish club Barcelona.
Both players were with Ajax Cape Town last season.
Their trial was confirmed by former South African footballer Steve "Kalamazoo" Mokone, who was instrumental in getting the duo a trial at the club.
Mokone saw Siwahla playing for the Ajax under-17 team in a tournament in Orlando, Florida, last December.
At the time he thought Siwahla was a better prospect than Freddie Adu, the Ghanaian-born American who has been hailed as a future superstar.
The two players are managed by former Cape Town footballer Mark "Boontjie" Williams.
Williams said today: "I have signed an agreement to work with international soccer agent Herman Rijkaard, so the players will be well looked after."
Scott is currently in the national under-20 team who play Lesotho away this weekend.
Speaking from Johannesburg, where the team was in camp, Scott said: "I am over the moon for just getting an opportunity to grace the field with Barcelona players. It is every player's dream to play for a big club... and Barcelona is big."
Siwahla caused a sensation when he made his Premier League debut for Ajax last season. He scored the first goal in their 3-0 victory over Dynamos in an Absa Cup match.
Although there were queries about his age, Siwahla said he would be 16 on September 3.
"I am very excited about the trial and am working hard at my game, because I want to make it at a big club," said Siwahla.
