Bafana Bafana boss Hugo Broos has named his 24-man squad for upcoming Afcon qualifiers against Liberia.
The home and away matches are decisive fixtures for the men’s senior national team as they seek to qualify for next year’s tournament in Ivory Coast.
Bafana are currently second in Group K following their 2-1 defeat against Morocco last year.
South Africa Coach Hugo Broos
South Africa host the West African nation on Friday, 24 March (18:00) at Orlando Stadium in Soweto, and play again four days later on Wednesday, 28 March (18:00 SA time) in the Liberian capital of Monrovia.
The Rainbow nation all things being equal hope to grab ticket to Ivory Coast with victories in both fixtures before their final Group K match against Morocco in June.
Last week, Broos announced a 35-man preliminary squad which he has now trimmed down ahead of the national training camp.
Broos has picked in-form Mamelodi Sundowns striker Cassius Mailula, as well as Orlando Pirates top-scorer Monnapule Saleng. Both players interestingly are in running for the PSL footballer of the season accolade.
The training camp for Bafana Bafana aka ‘the boys the boys’ commences on Sunday (19 March).
