Ramoreboli gave thanks to the clubs for allowing their players to compete in the tournament, despite all the top-flight sides returning for pre-season.
"This is the final team for the COSAFA Cup. I think it's only proper for me to firstly take this opportunity to thank the President of SAFA, Dr Danny Jordaan, for giving us this opportunity. We also thank the SAFA Technical Committee under the leadership of Jack Maluleka, the CEO Ms Lydia Monyepao, as well as the Technical Director (Walter Steenbok) for the support," the coach told Safa.net
"Again, I think it's proper to thank all the clubs who allowed their players to be part of this program, especially during this period where clubs are preparing for the new season, we thank them a lot. We also thank all of these players who are here in camp. Some of them were still in off-season, but they sacrificed to be here. We really appreciate it.
"It was not easy, honestly speaking, to come up with the final team because, you know, during this period, players withdraw, sometimes after the call-up letters have been sent you realize that the players is injured, maybe from last season. But like I said, we really want to thank all the clubs that co-operated and gave us the players."
