Broos said as he continues to fine-tune his squad, the two matches this month will help him get even closer to the kind of team he has in mind for next year’s AFCON and the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers next month. “We have again three injured players for the moment, players who played in the previous games. It’s a pity, but I think for 80-85% that the team is made ,” Broos said after announcing the Bafana Bafana squad.

“There can be changes, certainly there can be changes, but I’m very happy that we are already so far. With those two games now, Eswatini and Côte d’Ivoire, I can really make the choices next month for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Benin and Rwanda.”🚨🚨 Bafana Bafana Camp Update: Due to an acute illness – Monnapule Saleng is replaced by Khanyisa Mayo.
