Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos named a 36-member preliminary squad on Wednesday for June's 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Nigeria and Zimbabwe, snubbing forward Bongokuhle Hlongwane .
The Minnesota United star has missed out on Bafana selection since this year's Africa Cup of Nations, continuing Hugo Broos recent trend of not selecting US-based players for the national men's team. Hlongwane though, has seemingly used the setback as some motivation to get back onto the scoresheet for The Loons, scoring a screamer in their 2-2 draw to LA Galaxy in the MLS.
The Bafana international rattled the cross-bar with a powerful volley, resulting in the ball dropping down and crossing the goal line, an effort that came from just outside the box. It gave his team a first half lead before going on to drop points on their home patch. Hlongwane's Minnesota side, coached by former Manchester United set-piece coach Eric Ramsey, sits in second place on the MLS Western Conference log A post shared by Minnesota United FC For 14 free days, you can have access to the best from Soccer Laduma, KickOff, Daily Sun, TrueLove and Drum.
