South Africa’s head coach, Hugo Broos, has named a formidable 38-member preliminary squad as Bafana Bafana gears up for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers. Set to clash with Uganda and South Sudan, the squad blends seasoned veterans and exciting new talents, igniting hopes for another deep AFCON run.
Key highlights include the return of star goalkeeper Ronwen Williams, whose penalty heroics in the 2023 AFCON semifinals are still fresh in fans’ memories. Despite a recent injury, Williams has earned his spot alongside Dutch-born South African striker Simon van Duivenbooden and the ever-reliable Percy Tau.
As South Africa prepares to host Uganda on September 6 at Orlando Stadium, followed by an away game against South Sudan, the squad’s mix of experience and youth looks poised to extend their eight-match unbeaten streak and secure a spot in the continental showdown in Morocco. The final 23-man squad is expected to be announced soon, as Broos sharpens his roster for the challenge ahead.
