FIFA esports players that have qualified for National Team Trials.

Khahliso Malape who has represented South Africa against Namibia and Ghana.
Even though FIFA '18 has not been announced to be played at IESF's 10th World Championships - Koahsuing City, Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) willl endeavour to arrange test matches with other National Federations in order to further develop the standard of play in South Africa.

MSSA has up to date selected players to officially represent South Africa 
in FIFA '18 in championships held in 2009 (Taebaek and Busan), 2010 (Daegu), 2011 (Andong), and 2012 (Cheonan and Windhoek). MSSA also selected teams to represent South Africa in online test matches in 2015 (Zimbabwe), 2016 (Ghana), 2017 (Namibia), and 2018 (Ghana).
