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 will be held in Morocco from December 21, 2025, to 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.

As the country now waits for the 2026 World Cup draw, the focus is on the 2025 AFCON.

Friendly against former AFCON champions on the table

In preparations for the 2025 AFCON, SAFA has already started organising some friendly matches for Bafana Bafana. They have one lined up for November to give Broos another chance to have a look at some fringe players.

‘FIFA World Cup-bound Bafana Bafana will face Zambia in an international friendly match to be played at home next month,” SAFA said in a statement.

“The match will be played in South Africa on Friday, 14 November 2025 as part of coach Hugo Broos’ preparations for this year’s Africa Cup on Nations (AFCON) in Morocco at the end of the year. The South African Football Association (SAFA) will confirm the match venue and the ticketing details in the coming days.
