This eagerly anticipated competition will be held in Morocco between December 2025 and January 2026.
Bafana Bafana, under the guidance of coach Hugo Broos, were fortunate to be seeded in Pot 1.
This favourable seeding came as a result of South Africa’s 10th place ranking among CAF nations in the latest FIFA rankings.
This placement allowed them to avoid facing some of the continent’s top teams from the same pot.
In Group K, South Africa will face Uganda, Congo Brazzaville, and South Sudan.
Each of these teams presents a unique challenge, but Bafana Bafana are determined to secure their spot in the AFCON 2025 tournament.
Coach Broos and his team are preparing for a tough journey ahead, starting with the qualifiers that kick off in September 2024.
