Percy Tau smiles after scoring for South Africa against Ghana in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in March 2021Brighton manager Graham Potter has said that he will allow Percy Tau to play for South Africa at the Tokyo Olympics. Last week Tau was named in 40-man preliminary squad for men's football tournament at The Games by the South Africa Football Association. South Africa qualified for the Olympics by grabbing third place at the 2019 Under-23 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt as they beat Ghana on penalties after a 2-2 draw. They will be joined in Tokyo by the Under-23 Nations Cup winners Egypt and runners-up Ivory Coast. Since then he has played four more times for Brighton, but is still looking for his first goal in English football.
