BAFANA Bafana’s qualification for the Fifa World Cup 2026 and the upcoming, Africa Cup of Nations has sparked renewed ambition in the local game, with AmaZulu coach Arthur Zwane hailing its impact on domestic football.

Speaking after AmaZulu’s hard-fought win over Durban City in the Betway Premiership this past weekend, Zwane said the national team’s recent success is already raising the bar for players in the league.

The former Bafana winger believes the dream of representing the country on the world stage will fuel even greater performances across the board.

“It’s very important that everyone puts in displays that capture the eyes of everyone,” Zwane said.

“It will show their confidence in their abilities and also show that they're seeing the chance to be selected for the national team.”

With AFCON 2025 around the corner and a World Cup on the horizon, Zwane is convinced this moment will be a turning point for many local professionals chasing international honours.
