Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Born Sefuli Ntoi, the player who would come to be known as \u2018Benin\u2019, burst onto the both the national and continental football scene in 2005 \u2013 as a key component of Makoanyane XI, Lesotho\u2019s Under-20 national team that blasted its way into the year\u2019s African Youth Championship.<\/p>\n

This was the first ever feat of this magnitude in the country\u2019s football history. The 2005 championship was played between January 15 and 29 hosted by Benin, the tournament also served as qualification for the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship.<\/p>\n

And sporting the No 7 jersey Ntoi earned the moniker \u2018Benin\u2019 during qualification games to the championships; local football journalists and commentators affectionately called him by the name looking at his determination, skill and commitment towards Makoanyane XI\u2019s campaign.<\/p>\n

The diminutive midfielder had previously made Makoanyane XI\u2019s jersey No 8 his ahead of the qualification games, but was forced to surrender the number after the national team qualified for the competition.<\/p>\n

He had to wear jersey No 7. This after teammate, Tefo \u2018Chico\u2019 Maipato, asked for permission to wear the number. \u201cHe requested to wear the number, and I remember that the team managers asked me if I had any problem relinquishing the jersey to \u2018Chico\u2019,\u201d recalls Ntoi.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s basically what happened. I still remember that it was exactly after we qualified for the Benin tournament. \u201d<\/p>\n

Even though Ntoi can\u2019t remember who used to don the No 7 jersey that he ended up wearing, but he says he didn\u2019t have any problem of changing the number (No 8) despite having at the time had a bond with and liked it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe talked about it as a team and I agreed to give it to Tefo Maipato.<\/p>\n

That happened easily because we were like a family in that team, having played together for a long time, and above all, we understood each other,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Ntoi was a promising youngster from the youthful FC Likhopo, a marvel to watch taking on opponents from the midfield. The nickname \u2018Benin\u2019 emerged and stuck as the team\u2019s performance at the time left no doubt that were headed for the Benin tournament.<\/p>\n

The team has earned the reputation as the most formidable Makoanyane XI side ever. But to the surprise of many who followed local football, Ntoi, 38, says he does not know that the local football fraternity called him \u2018Benin\u2019.<\/p>\n

Ntoi\u2019s contribution in the team saw Makoanyane XI making it to the Benin African Youth Championship at the expense of the South African Under-20 side \u2018Amajita\u2019 and Zimbabwe through the away rule goal following a 2-2 goal-aggregate after a 2-1 loss away and a 1-0 victory home and a 3-0 goal-aggregate following a goalless draw away and a 3-0 win home respectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur commitment and patriotism really worked for us, and of course knocking both South Africa and Zimbabwe out of the competition is still something to reminisce about even today,\u201d Ntoi ruminates. He played alongside local stars Katleho Moleko, Motlalepula Mofolo and Bokang \u2018Lefty\u2019 Mothoana, amongst others.<\/p>\n

At the tournament in Benin, Makoanyane XI were pitted against Egypt, Morocco and Angola in Group B where they finished on third spot above Angola as the last team on the four-team group log table, with Morocco and Egypt topping the group on second and first positions respectively.<\/p>\n

The team, under the guidance of Seepheephe \u2018Mochini\u2019 Matete as head coach, lost 2-0 to Morocco before beating Angola 2-1 with goals from Dlomo Monaphathi and Mothoana in the 40 and 45th minutes respectively. But they lost the following game 4-1 to Egypt, with a consolation goal scored by Lintle Kori from the penalty spot.<\/p>\n

Ntoi still remembers and cherishes the fact that he played at the same tournament with international football stars like John Obi Mikel of Nigeria, amongst the many star players that emerged from the Benin games.<\/p>\n

The Nigerian team, which was pitted in Group A against Ivory Coast, Mali and the hosts Benin, went all the way to win the tournament as \u2013 beating Egypt 2-0 in the final.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Benin, we were together with players like Obi Mikel of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

We also played against many of the renowned players in the qualifiers, such as Senzo Meyiwa (the late South African Orlando Pirates goalkeeper) Lebohang Mokoena, Junior Khanye, Buti Sethole, Nhlanhla Tshabalala and Daine Klate, also from neighbouring South Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201d<\/p>\n

But whilst this interaction in the pitch could be viewed as the highlight of Ntoi\u2019s playing career, he most cherishes winning the Vodacon Soccer Spectacular with FC Likhopo in his first season with the club.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmongst my greatest memories as a player was winning the Vodacom Soccer Spectacular in my first season with FC Likhopo.<\/p>\n

I would say the teamwork made it easy for us to achieve that, and of course on top of that was the fact that we loved our team. \u201d The late Motlatsi Shale was at the time in charge of FC Likhopo as head coach.<\/p>\n

Ntoi, who became part and parcel of the Makoanyane XI team where he also played at the COSAFA Under-20 Championships several times, hung up his soccer boots at the age of 32.<\/p>\n

He was at the time playing for Kick4Life FC, where he spent two seasons. He joined the Police Europa-based side after spending four seasons with Likhopo.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would have loved to end my playing career playing for any of the South African teams but that has failed to happen; and I am now 38-years-old,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Ntoi started playing football as a young boy. He was eight-years-old when he played for Botha-Bothe Fast XI development team. \u201cI grew up in Botha-Bothe at my mother\u2019s home, and that\u2019s where I started playing football as a youngster.<\/p>\n

We used to play as curtain raisers every time Botha-Bothe Fast XI played at home. \u201d Ntoi, who hails was from Ha Lebini, Teyateyaneng (TY), in Berea, eventually came back home and was very fortunate as his family in TY also loved football.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was raised in families that loved football. Even when I moved from Botha-Bothe to TY I also found people who loved the game very much.<\/p>\n

My uncle Ralikeleko Ntoi made sure that I always had a ball to play. \u201d Ntoi\u2019s uncle was a football player. \u201cHe was playing for a team called Berea Cosmos,\u201d Ntoi says.<\/p>\n

Ntoi\u2019s coach while he was playing for a youngsters\u2019 development team in Botha-Bothe was former Lesotho Correctional Services FC player, Sidwell Mothea.<\/p>\n

He left the Mothea\u2019s side to join Mabothile Youngsters in the B-Division, still in Botha-Bothe, before coming back to TY. \u201cI played for Mabothile Youngsters from 1991 until 1995.<\/p>\n

Then I came to TY in 1996 where I joined Berea Cosmos. \u201d At Berea Cosmos, who were also campaigning in the B-Division, Ntoi was mentored by Nkiti Tokonya as the team\u2019s coach.<\/p>\n

Ntoi was then spotted by football scout by Chelsea FC boss, the late Sello Matete, when he was a Form A student at high school. Chelsea, now defunct, campaigned in Lesotho\u2019s top-flight league.<\/p>\n

\u201cI spent three years at Chelsea and from there I joined Lifefo FC in the premier league, where I spent two years and then moved to Majantja in mohale\u2019s Hoek.<\/p>\n

\u201d Ntoi spent another four seasons at Majantja and from there he joined FC Likhopo.<\/p>\n
