Broos confirms exit after Fifa World Cup
Cape Argus
|October 16, 2025
HUGO Broos will walk away from Bafana Bafana after the 2026 Fifa World Cup, ending a tenure that has restored belief, pride, and purpose in South African football.
The 73-year-old Belgian mentor confirmed his decision after guiding Bafana to a 3-0 win over Rwanda at Mbombela Stadium on Tuesday night - a result that, combined with Nigeria's 4-0 win over Benin in Uyo, sealed South Africa's passage to next year's global showpiece.
Broos' men topped Group C after a gruelling qualification campaign, finishing a point ahead of Nigeria and Benin.
The Super Eagles' emphatic victory may have earned them an unlikely playoff lifeline, but it was Bafana who emerged as the group's dominant force - resilient, organised, and consistent from start to finish.
And for Broos, qualification marks both a personal and professional milestone.
The veteran coach revealed that the World Cup in 2026 will be his last act in football - a fitting final chapter to a storied career spanning over five decades as a player and coach.
