Hugo Broos Believes 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifying Group Is Not Difficult! The outspoken coach has made another bold statement.

Bafana Bafana will begin the road to the 2026 FIFA World Cup later this year. Head coach Hugo Broos is happy with the nations he has been pitted against.

South Africa will face Benin, Rwanda, Nigeria, Zimbabwe and Lesotho in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying group. These team do not pose a sizeable threat to Broos.

“When you look at our group, I think we are not in a really most difficult group.” the coach spoke.

“At the same time, there’ll be some tricky games. First of all, Nigeria is a very good team who’ve always qualified for Afcon, so it will be tough games against them.

“Our neighbours Zimbabwe and Lesotho will be very, very motivated to beat SA.

“There are still two other teams in Benin and Rwanda, not the most difficult and not the best teams of Africa but away games are always tricky. I think it will be very important to not only win at home.

“Away games will decide who wins the group. We will have to go for the first place so that we don’t have to play in the play-offs again afterwards,” he spoke.

There will be at least seven African teams in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with the potential to reach 10 teams. Hugo Broos Believes 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifying Group Is Not Difficult!
