Amajita starlet Shandre Campbell has admitted that he was disappointed to miss the Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations Afcon in Egypt, where SA clinched the title, a few months ago, as his Belgian outfit Club Brugge refused to release him.
Campbell is back with Amajita ahead of the U-20 World Cup and is poised to make the 21-player final squad for the finals in Chile from September 27 to October 19, where he thinks SA will do well.
Obviously, I was disappointed that I couldn't be with SA, the nation I grew up in, but at the end of the day it was a decision made abroad at his team, Brugge, beyond my understanding. I am proud of the gents for winning the Afcon and we want to go far in this World Cup, Campbell said.
