South Africa’s national team, Bafana Bafana, plays Canada in a FIFA World Cup last-32 match on Sunday. Both reports say coach Hugo Broos is expected to make use of the squad while aiming to maintain continuity in selection. Teboho Mokoena, who had been suspended, is expected to return for the encounter. However, rather than making broad changes to the starting line-up, the reports indicate Broos is likely to stick with the same starting XI that was used previously, despite Mokoena’s availability. The match is framed as a historic step for Bafana Bafana as they enter the knockout stage, with the team set to meet Canada at the World Cup. Overall, the outlets align on two main points: the timing and opponent (Canada in the last-32) and the expected handling of Mokoena’s return, which is described as a factor in squad planning without necessarily triggering immediate changes to the starting XI.
