Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has named a 41-member preliminary squad for the two international friendly matches that will be played at home in June 2025.
Broos’ charges will play against Tanzania and a second opponent to be confirmed in the coming days. The first match against Tanzania will be played at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, Limpopo, on Friday, June 6 (kick off is at 7:30pm).
Some of the new players in Broos’ squad include youngsters Mohau Nkota, Simphiwe Selepe (both Orlando Pirates), Shandre Campbell (Club Brugge), Yusuf Maart and Mduduzi Shabalala (both Kaizer Chiefs).
The team will report for camp in Johannesburg next week Sunday and then travel to Polokwane on the same day. Mamelodi Sundowns players were not selected as they will be participating in the FIFA Club World Cup to be played in the United States of America from June 14 – July 13.
This will assist Broos in having a bigger pool of players to choose his squad in the future. It will also give the Belgian train a nice headache when it comes to player selection.
The preliminary squad will be trimmed to 23 players in the coming days when Broos announces his final list for the two matches.
