Bafana Bafana coach, Hugo Broos says his charges deserve to go to the FIFA World Cup in North America next year after working extremely hard to put themselves in contention in the last two years.
The South African senior men’s national team assembled in Roodepoort, Johannesburg, on Monday morning ahead of their upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
An away World Cup qualifier against Zimbabwe at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Friday, 10 October 2025.
The final qualifier hosting Rwanda at the Mbombela Stadium, Mpumalanga, on Tuesday, 14 October 2025.
Both matches are scheduled to be played at 18h00 (6:00 PM local time).
“There are no doubts, there have never been any doubts from my side, and I will try to transfer this to the players at a meeting we will have on Tuesday,” Broos said (via safa.net).
“I believe in this group and I am sure that they will do everything in their power to win that game on Friday. Why should we doubt ourselves now after our performances in the qualifiers? If there is a team that deserves to go to the World Cup, it is South Africa.”
