Selaelo Rasebotja (born 26 April 2001) is a South African soccer player who plays as a midfielder for Orlando Pirates in the South African Premier Division.[2]
He hails from Limpopo Province. While attending a football school of excellence, he represented South Africa U20 at the 2019 COSAFA U-20 Cup. He was signed by SuperSport United to their youth selection, being drafted into the senior team in the summer of 2021.[3] Following his debut for SuperSport United, manager Kaitano Tembo nicknamed Rasebotja "Iniesta".[4]
Rasebotja was called up to Bafana Bafana for the 2022 COSAFA Cup. Here, South Africa lost to Mozambique on penalty shootouts. In a consolation tournament known as the Plate, Butsaka scored his first international goal against Botswana.[1][5] Subsequently, SuperSport United refused to let Rasebotja or any other of their players join the South African team for the 2022 African Nations Championship qualification against Comoros, citing that the 2022-23 South African Premier Division start was too close.[6]
