Hugo Broos Names Final Bafana Bafana Squad for Tanzania and Mozambique Friendlies
Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has officially named his final 23-man squad for the upcoming international friendlies against Tanzania and Mozambique, cutting down his original 41-man preliminary list.
The South African national team will face Tanzania at the Peter Mokaba Stadium on June 6, before hosting Mozambique on June 10 at Loftus Versfeld Stadium. The squad is expected to report for camp this coming Sunday to begin preparations.
Broos has taken a bold step by blending youth with experience in the latest selection. Nine Orlando Pirates players have been included, including promising youngsters Mbekezeli Mbokazi, Mohau Nkota, and Simphiwe Selepe. Selepe only recently made his professional debut for the Buccaneers but has impressed enough to earn his first national team call-up.
TS Galaxy defender Khulumani Ndamane, who missed the previous squad due to passport issues, is now officially part of the setup and could make his senior debut during the upcoming matches.
The selection shows Broos’ continued commitment to building for the future while maintaining competitiveness. With several players expected to earn their first caps, these friendlies offer a platform for emerging talents to make their mark and push for a place in upcoming qualifiers and tournaments.
