Hugo Broos has named his first Bafana Bafana squad ahead of next month’s highly-anticipated 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
South Africa is set to kick off the nation’s 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign neighbours Zimbabwe in Harare on 3 September before returning home for a challenging encounter against Ghana at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg three days later.
Newly-appointed head coach Broos has arrived in the country ahead of next month’s crucial qualifiers after being absent from the dugout during the national team’s friendly against Uganda in June and the subsequent COSAFA Cup triumph in Gqeberha.
The 69-year-old addressed the media during a press conference on Thursday afternoon where he announced a 31-man preliminary squad for the two upcoming fixtures, with many from the COSAFA Cup squad rewarded for their success.
