South Africa kick off their quest next Thursday to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time since 2019. First up are highly ranked Morocco.

Bafana Bafana begin their quest to qualify for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations against Morocco in just under a week. Results in this endeavour over the next few months will be crucial for Hugo Broos and his men to sway public opinion on the team’s capabilities.

Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos at his side’s 2022 World Cup qualifier against Zimbabwe at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg on 11 November 2021. Despite that disappointing outcome, Broos said he had drawn a number of positives from the experience.“For me, it was a success. We had a new, young team and from the six games, we won four, drew one and lost the other one. We had 13 points. With a little bit of research, I found that over the past 12 years, in all the qualifiers that South Africa played for [World Cup qualifying], you have never had 13 points. The maximum was 12 points, and that means this was not bad what we did,” he said.
