Pitso Mosimane has named the first 30-man Bafana Bafana squad since returning as coach ahead of South Africa’s opening AFCON 2027 qualifying matches. The team is set to face Guinea and Eritrea as qualifiers begin.
Local reporting says Mosimane makes several selection decisions before narrowing the group to the final squad. One outlet notes that a final 23-man squad is announced at 12:00 at SAFA House. Another report confirms Mosimane ultimately announces the final squad.
Beyond the qualifiers, outlets add that South Africa also schedules additional fixtures. The final-squad announcement includes a friendly against Egypt, alongside the AFCON qualifiers against Guinea and Eritrea, indicating the broader match programme within the same squad selection cycle.
