Azola Matrose

Azola Matrose (born 27 March 2003) is a South African soccer player who plays as a midfielder for Orlando Pirates in the Premier Soccer League.

He was born in Walmer. Matrose was signed by Chippa United as the autumn of 2021 approached, and made his first-tier debut in the 2021–22 South African Premier Division. He performed as well as to be called up to South Africa's squad for the 2022 COSAFA Cup, where he made his international debut against Madagascar.

He was signed by Orlando Pirates in 2022, but spent 2022–23 back on loan with Chippa United. One of the reasons was to complete Grade 11 of school.

Matrose missed the closer of the 2022–23 season, and as the 2023–24 season approached, he still had an injured fibula. He was given match training for the reserve team in the Diski Challenge in early 2024.
