In a move that signals a promising new chapter for South African football, Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has unveiled his carefully selected 23-man squad to take on Lesotho and Nigeria in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Broos has taken a significant step forward by narrowing down his preliminary list of 48 players to a more focused group, paving the way for a stronger team dynamic.
The squad is poised for success with a strong contingent of local-based players, supplemented by six talented foreign-based stars. South Africa is set to take on Lesotho away on Saturday, September 6, followed by a home match against Nigeria at the Toyota Stadium, Bloemfontein, four days later.
Bafana Bafana are making strides, leading Group C with 13 points from six games, showcasing their impressive form.
