Bafana Bafana next match sees them face Guinea and Eritrea in a massive task to qualify for their third AFCON in a row, with the 2027 edition set to be co-hosted by Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.

Pitso Mosimane took over as Bafana Bafana coach, replacing Belgian Hugo Broos who left after being at the helm for five years.

‘Jingles’ main assignment will be to ensure Bafana Bafana qualify for the 2027 AFCON that will be co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. They have been placed in Group D alongside Eritrea, Guinea and Kenya.

Bafana Bafana next match

The game against Guinea will be played at the Orlando Amstel Arena on September 26. The last time the senior teams met was in an international friendly way back in March 2022, a game that ended 0-0.

However, during the 2025 African Nations Championship (CHAN), Mzansi claimed a 2-1 victory.

The second Group D outing will be away against Eritrea, who are seen as the whipping boys in the pool. This is the first time the two nations will be meeting, and Pitso Mosimane’s men come into the match as favourites.

While Bafana Bafana have played in the last two AFCONs, the last time Guinea competed was in 2023 where they reached the Round of 16, while Eritrea have never qualified for the biennial competition.

Broos also led Bafana Bafana to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, co-hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the United States—the team’s first World Cup appearance in 16 years. For the first time in their history, South Africa advanced past the group stage before falling 1-0 to co-hosts Canada in the Round of 32.
