Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has officially announced his final squad for the crucial Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 qualifiers against Uganda on November 15 and South Sudan on November 19.
Broos is under considerable pressure to secure maximum points in the upcoming matches against Uganda and South Sudan to qualify for the 2025 AFCON. Currently, they are in second place in Group K with eight points from four matches.
The 23-man roster includes a notable selection of Sage Stephens from Stellenbosch FC, who will join fellow goalkeeper Sipho Chaine and the national team’s primary goalkeeper, Ronwen Williams.
Mamelodi Sundowns striker Themba Zwane is unavailable due to suspension resulting from an injury sustained in domestic competition and has been replaced by Mihlali Mayambela of Aris Limassol FC.
Mayambela will be joined by Orlando Pirates’ emerging talent Relebohile Mofokeng and Thapelo Morena of Mamelodi Sundowns among the eight forwards selected.
Bafana Bafana’s previous matches occurred in October when they faced Congo in two Group Stage encounters. They achieved a decisive 5-0 victory at home and a 1-1 draw in Brazzaville.
