Banyana Banyana will camp at the Potchefstroom High Performance Centre from Wednesday next week as they begin their preparations for next year's Olympic Games.
Safa spokesperson Matlhomola Morake revealed to KickOff.com that a 38-member team will undergo a rigorous fitness test at the facility, under the watchful eye of Banyana coach Joseph Mkhonza.
"Their fitness levels will be assessed through various physical tests. The camp will be for three days, from October 19 to 23, and will mark the beginning of their preparations of the Olympic Games, which by the way are not very far away.
"As Safa, we are prepared to render all the necessary assistance that will be needed in these preparations to make sure that the team is well prepared to raise our flag high during the Olympics," Morake says.
Banyana completed a 4-1 aggregate victory over Ethiopia last month to book a place at the 2012 edition of the Olympics Games, which will be held in London.
Mkhonza has requested that Safa organise friendly matches against strong European teams so that his charges will be well prepared ahead of their Olympic campaign.
