Cape Town – Former South African footballer Teko Modise is currently in Spain as part of the “LaLiga Experience” organised by Supersport and the Spanish league, La Liga.
Despite being there for football-related reasons, Modise’s social media posts suggest a focus on his style and fashion taste.
During the trip, Modise visited the Spanish city of Sevilla, where he, along with TV host Ariyiike Owolagba, had the opportunity to be inside the Real Betis changeroom before a game against Barcelona.
