The duo then travelled to Tokyo, Japan, to meet up with the rest of the squad.
“It’s a great opportunity to be going to the Olympics.” Nkosingiphile Ngcobo told the media before departing for Tokyo.
“Playing in the Champions League final was another great experience, which I am grateful and happy for. Now, I am looking for some game time in Tokyo and to improve my own game,” the excited midfielder said.
“It’s a good feeling and another achievement in my career.” Reeve Frosler said.
“I get to showcase my talents at a high stage at under 23 level and I am very excited about that. We take the experience of the Champions League with us to the Olympics.
“Hopefully, I can get a few games under the belt and showcase my talents to the world,” he added.
The Chiefs dup arrived in camp just in time to prepare for this crunch fixture.
“We have had a very long trip and are still a bit disappointed at the weekend’s results, however as professionals we are now settled in Tokyo and will be 100 percent ready to play if we are selected in the opening match,” Frosler said as they landed in Tokyo.
