PLAYER BIOGRAPHY
About Rivaldo Coetzee
Rivaldo Roberto Genino Coetzee (born 16 October 1996) is a South African professional soccer player who plays as a defender for Mamelodi Sundowns and the South Africa national team.
A graduate of the Ajax Cape Town academy, Coetzee made his professional debut in 2014 at the age of 17 and made just under 100 appearances for the club. In 2017, he won the club's Player of the Season award before signing for Mamelodi Sundowns later in the year. He is also a full international and, upon making his international debut in 2014, became the youngest player ever to represent South Africa at the age of 17 years and 361 days, though this record has since been broken by Fagrie Lakay.
