Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Keagan Dolly is excited about his return to France, where he will look to help his Bafana Bafana teammates acclimatise quicker in the country before their showdown with the world champions.
SA will play the star-studded French national team in Lille on March 29 after their fixture with Guinea in Belgium on March 25.
Dolly is part of coach Hugo Broos' 23-man squad for this month’s two friendlies, which Bafana are using as part of their preparations for the 2023 African Cup of Nations qualifiers starting in June.The 29-year-old Dolly spent four years, between 2017 and 2021, playing for French Ligue 1 side Montpellier.
“I didn’t expect to go back to France so soon but it’s good memories to see the stadiums I played in and perhaps see people that I know from France,” Dolly said. “It would be good to go back and just share my experience with the boys. It’s a new team and we are going to be playing one of the top teams in the world.
“France have good players playing in top leagues. It’s a good experience for us to go there and see how good we are at the top.”
