As Bafana Bafana departs for Nigeria coach Hugo Broos has once again reiterated that his target in the next two 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Nigeria and Zimbabwe is four points.
Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has announced his 23-member squad that will face Nigeria and Zimbabwe in two World Cup qualifiers in June with Bafana striker Lyle Foster making a return to the national team.
Bafana Bafana will return to the Free State for the first time since the 2010 FIFA World Cup to host neighbours Zimbabwe in a 2026 World Cup qualifier next month.
Outgoing FIFPro General Secretary Jonas Baer-Hoffmann has hailed the return of Zimbabwe to international football this month as one of their success stories on the African continent.
Nigeria coach Jose Peseiro says his side struggled in their World Cup qualifier with Zimbabwe due to travelling fatigue.
With FIFA lifting the ban on Zimbabwe to return to international football, former national team defender and veteran Onismor Bhasera believes this opens the door for The Warriors’ next generation.
