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

Bafana Bafana started their preparations for the forthcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco with a friendly game against Zambia at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.

Coach Hugo Broos wanted to have a look at some players before confirming his squad for the biennial competition.

Oswin Appollis opened the scoring in 43rd minute with an assist coming from Orlando Pirates’ Sipho Mbule. It happened to be the only goal in the first half despite the many chances created.

‘Master Chef’ then provided another assist in the 62nd minute, this time around teeing up mohau nkota who did well to beat his marker before guiding the ball home.

Nkota then turned provider six minutes later, as he managed to find Sphephelo Sithole in the danger zone and the latter made no mistake. Chipolopolo found their consolation courtesy of Jacob Sabobo in the stoppages.

SAFA have not yet made it clear on whether Bafana Bafana will play another friendly game before AFCON.
