Newcomers to the squad make team look stronger
Unlike in recent years when the entire nation needed calculators to work out Bafana Bafana's chances during final qualifier matches for big tournaments, Hugo Broos has come on board and changed all that.
Now SA is four games away from qualifying for the 2026 Fifa World Cup.
Bafana will be reporting for camp in the next few days, as they are set to resume their Group C World Cup qualifiers against Lesotho on Friday and Nigeria next Tuesday. Both matches will take place at Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein.
