Soweto Gogo Showing Off Soccer Skills in Viral TikTok, People Think She Could’ve Been a Star

• A Soweto grandmother's impressive soccer ball juggling skills were captured in a viral TikTok post
• The video sparked discussion among netizens about missed opportunities for women in sports in South Africa
• Despite not playing professionally, the grandmother's passion for soccer and infectious smile impressed viewers

A Soweto gogo was recorded showing off her incredible ball control skills in a viral TikTok post recently. The old lady had a reassuring smile on her face as she juggled the ball with both feet. With the state of the PSL, maybe a team might pick her up to give them a run for their money.

Juggling a soccer ball isn't easy, but showing off other skills at that age is something else. The magogo could have probably gone on to become a footballing star if women had been afforded those opportunities earlier in South Africa.

Hindsight is always 20/20. No one can be sure what her reasons for not playing professionally were. Perhaps she enjoyed the sport as a hobby or had other commitments. But netizens still felt that she would've been great at the sport.

Here is what they had to say:
