Bafana Bafana coach names final 23-man squad for Tanzania, Mozambique games

Date: May 30, 2025

Bafana Bafana coach, Hugo Broos, has named his final 23-man squad for next month's two international friendly matches against Tanzania in Limpopo and Mozambique in Polokwane and Pretoria.

The Belgian says his highlight since being appointed to the position was the team's success at the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Ivory Coast where Bafana won a bronze medal.

Broos says he will use the two friendlies to give youngsters an opportunity to show if they are ready to make the step up to the senior national team, with an eye on the future as most of the regulars in his squad are nearing retirement age”

“its a very good opportunity now its not a game or qualifier for world cup or AFCON if you lose that game is disaster but if we lose its not a problem.

None of the Mamelodi Sundowns players have been included because the team will participate in the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States from June 14.

Broos says Tanzania and Mozambique will provide sufficient opposition. He didn't want to play a stronger team such as Morocco, because most of his regulars weren't available, “playing against top teams you have to do it with your best team all of Sundown’s players are not there its young players we had a call from Morocco to play them immediately I said no. but Tanzania and Mozambique are good opponents.”
