“He Needs to Compete in UEFA Competitions”: Sechaba Urges Son Relebohile Mofokeng to Chase European Dream

Sechaba Urges Son Relebohile Mofokeng to Chase European Dream

Relebohile Mofokeng’s father, Sechaba, has made a heartfelt plea for his son to leave South African football at the end of the current season and pursue his dream of playing in Europe.

In an exclusive interview with Soccer Laduma (edition 1429), Sechaba expressed his strong desire for the Orlando Pirates star to make the jump to a major European league in the 2025/26 campaign.

‘Not in the Betway Premiership Again’ — Sechaba Prays for European Move

Sechaba Mofokeng made it clear that his greatest desire is to see his son take the next step in his career by playing in Europe next season.

“My biggest wish is to see Rele overseas in 2025/2026. I’m praying every day. I don’t want to see him in the Betway Premiership again this season. I know God will answer my prayers,” said Sechaba.

The 20-year-old winger, currently one of the most exciting prospects in South African football, has attracted growing international attention, with reports linking him to Israeli powerhouse Maccabi Haifa.

‘He Can Play Anywhere’ — Sechaba Backs His Son for the Big Stage

Sechaba believes that his son has the ability to compete at the highest level and is not limiting his expectations to a single league.

“Anywhere. Spain, England, Netherlands, France, Denmark, Switzerland — Rele can play. I believe that with all my heart. Take him to Barcelona? He can play. PSG? He can play. Any country. I’ll be happy.”

‘Not Saudi Arabia’ — Sechaba Warns Against Early Move to the Middle East

While Sechaba is enthusiastic about a European move, he has ruled out a transfer to the Middle East, particularly Saudi Arabia, citing the importance of growth and happiness over financial gain.

“Not yet. He’s still young. He needs to compete in UEFA competitions. If he goes to Saudi now, he won’t experience that. Yes, he’d be rich — but happiness is more important. You can have all the money in the world, but if you’re not happy, it’s worthless,” he said.
