As it is now well-known, Bafana Bafana have been drawn with Nigeria, Benin, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Lesotho in Group C of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Having already qualified Bafana for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) finals to take place in the Ivory Coast next year, the job doesn’t get any easier for Hugo Broos to prove himself as the capable head coach by taking the team to the biggest of all football tournaments in the world that is to be staged across Canada, Mexico and the United States.
The World Cup qualifiers draw was conducted in Ivory Coast on Thursday, with the games set to begin in November and up to October 2024.
