Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has announced his final 23-man squad to line-up in 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers next month.
Broos called up Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Sipho Chaine for the first time as the Buccaneers goalie comes in as a replacement for Ronwen Williams.
The Mamelodi Sundowns goalie and Bafana skipper recently went under the knife. Chaine will compete against SuperSport United’s Ricardo Goss and AmaZulu FC captain Veli Mothwa for a starting berth.
It also remains to be seen who will captain the side in the absence of Williams.
Meanwhile, the majority of the team features familiar faces from the squad that won bronze in the 2023 AFCON.
However, the most notable omission is that of Al Ahly star Percy Tau, who has been horribly off form at Bafana since the recent AFCON in Ivory Coast.
