Under Hugo Broos, the team has grown into one of the more promising national sides in recent memory.

The upcoming tournament not only offers them a chance to build on that progress but also to lay a strong foundation for their upcoming World Cup campaign.

Since their 1996 victory, South Africa have struggled to meet expectations.

Their best subsequent result was a runners-up finish in 1998, while their third-place finish in the 2000 and 2023 edition was their most notable performance since that 1998 loss to Egypt (2-0) in the final.
