Bafana Bafana back home from Egypt

Bafana Bafana are back in the country following the end of the first FIFA international break of the season.

Pitso Mosimane’s men enjoyed a fruitful international break as they won all their three matches.

They first beat Guinea 2-1 in their opening qualifying match of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

Bafana Bafana then visited Eritrea in Egypt, and they hammered them 5-0 to cement their top spot on the Group D log.

The South Africans would face Egypt in a friendly at Cairo International Stadium, and they registered a hard-fought 1-0 victory.

Their success has seen them move up to 48 on the FIFA rankings; the team’s highest position in 15 years.
