South Africa next match: Bafana Bafana team fixtures and results 2024/25

Are you looking for info on South Africa’s next match or some of the recent fixtures of the team? We’ve got you covered in this article.

Hugo Broos-led Bafana Bafana have been steadily rising in the last couple of months across all competitions.

A couple of months ago, he helped the national team qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. The team was placed in Group K of the qualifiers alongside Uganda, South Sudan and Congo.

The Belgian helped Mzansi qualify for the biennial competition without tasting defeat – they secured four wins and two draws to qualify alongside Uganda who finished second with four wins, a draw and loss.

The 2025 Afcon is going on in Morocco and it will end on January 18, 2026.

Bafana Bafana back to World Cup!

The next hurdle for the 73-year-old Belgian was to help Bafana Bafana get the World Cup ticket.

It was definitely going to be a tough journey considering the fact that they were placed in Group C alongside Nigeria, Benin, Rwanda, Lesotho and COSAFA rivals Zimbabwe.

Bafana Bafana were riding high in confidence, collecting enough points to stay clear at the top. However, with just two rounds to go, they suffered a blow as FIFA sanctioned them for fielding suspended Teboho Mokoena in March agaisnt Lesotho.

It even got worse for South Africa after playing to a goalless draw with the Warriors on matchday nine to put them under more pressure as the Super Eagles and the Cheetahs won against their respective opponents.

However, in the final pool game, they beat Amavubi 3-0 as Nigeria did them a favour by claiming a huge 4-0 victory over Benin to send Mzansi through.

Bafana Bafana’s AFCON record

Bafana Bafana were placed in Group B alongside the seven-time champions Egypt as well as COSAFA duo Angola and Zimbabwe.

They started with a game against Angola on Monday, December 22, a fixture they won 2-1.

However, the biggest assignment was on Thursday, December 26 when they played with Egypt. It was a dramatic game that; first, Mohamed Salah was awarded a controversial penalty from which he scored.

Moments later, Mohamed Hany was sent off for a second bookable offense, but the most controversial decision was when defender Yasser Ibrahim was not punished for handling the ball in the box later in the game as the Pharaohs claimed a 1-0 win to make the last 16.

Broos was unhappy with what transpired as the attention turned to Zimbabwe on Monday.

“Even Salah said to me after the game that he was surprised it was a penalty. It was ridiculous. In the pre-tournament meeting they said if the arm is extended away from the body, it is a penalty,” he told the media in a presser.

“Then they said it was his supporting arm. Who invented this supporting arm? His arm was extended and it hit his arm.

“I want to talk about the meeting you get before a tournament. No one knows what to do. For 45 minutes they explain the rules, there are 25 to 50 rules. It is a penalty, then it is not a penalty.

“It is a red card for a player and then it is not. By the end, there are so many rules that no one knows what to do,” he concluded.
