As Bafana Bafana prepares for the AFCON 2025 draw in Morocco, we explore their potential opponents and the challenges ahead.
Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos will know who SA will face at the Africa Cup of nations 2025 on Monday nigh, when the draw is held in Rabat. | Ayanda Ndamane Independent Newspapers BAFANA BAFANA will Monday find out which path they have to traverse if they are to once again become African champions. South Africa's senior national team will be among the 24 countries focused on Rabat, Morocco, where the draw for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations will be taking place.
Bafana are among the second seeds as per the latest Fifa rankings. Coach Hugo Broos, his technical team, and the players, along with the country, will no doubt be hoping for a kind draw. The reality, though, is that at this level of the game, there are no easy draws. Algeria are underachievers at AFCON, and having held them 3-3 in their own backyard when the two countries last met, Broos and his boys will be confident against the Desert Foxes. Gabon are arguably the weakest of the teams seeded third, and of those in Pot 4, our neighbours the Zebras are opposition Bafana must fancy their chances against.Now this is what I consider a Group of Death for Bafana.
Sudan are arguably the fastest improving football nation on the continent, and they too upset the Black Stars in qualifying. Despite the fact that their country is devastated by a long-running civil war, the footballers continue to give their country some hope, with the war being momentarily forgotten whenever that national team plays, according to their Ghanaian coach Media Appiah.
