WORLD CUP QUALIFIER
RONWEN Williams urges Bafana Bafana to stay calm and focus on their game against Rwanda as they chase a place at the 2026 World Cup.
(BackpagePix)
BAFANA Bafana captain Ronwen Williams is adamant that the team cannot doubt themselves following the twists and turns in their Fifa World Cup 2026 qualifying campaign.
Bafana will face Rwanda in their last qualifier at Mbombela Stadium tonight (6pm kickoff). They need to win the match at all costs to aid their chances of reaching the promised land in North America for the first time since the 2002 edition, having merely qualified as hosts in 2010.
While beating Rwanda remains in Bafana’s hands, they still need to bank on the result in the clash between Nigeria and Benin in the other qualifier to go their way: Nigeria must either beat Benin, or the match should end in a draw.
