"The team has progressed a lot with the start of the training camps we've held since January.
"We just need to add the finishing touches to the team's final preparations for the Olympics."
Sanah Mollo, who plays for Bloemfontein Celtic, said every player wanted to impress the selectors as they went in search of a place in the final squad, with the country set to compete in the women's football event for the first time at the London Games.
