Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has named a 36-member preliminary squad for the international friendly matches against Namibia and DR Congo next month.
Broos’ charges host Namibia on 9 September 2023 (kick off is at 15h00) and DR Congo on 12 September in matches that are part of the coach’s preparations for the Africa Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire in January next year, and for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in November. The venues of the two matches will be confirmed in the coming days.
The preliminary squad will be trimmed to 23 players next week when Broos announces his final list for the two matches.
