Bafana Bafana in a new era with Broos

The South African national team has missed the finals of the African Nations Championship for three years, and their last appearance at the tournament was in 2021 after missing the 2019 edition, and the 2017 edition as well.

But all these things would not have happened without the consistency and great work of Hugo Broos, so much so that the match against South Sudan, which qualified the team to the finals of the tournament, was attended by more than 50 thousand fans.

In the last edition, hosted by the Ivory Coast, the South African national team finished in third place in the group stage and could not reach the finals, after which Hugo Bruce's team returned with a 19-match losing streak.

The South African national team is also doing well in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers and is in second place in Group c after the group leaders Rwanda.
