Ghana to face Bafana Bafana in a international friendly before South Africa heads to Morocco for the Africa Cup of Nations tournament

Bafana Bafana will face Ghana in a friendly match ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Morocco.

This game will give Bafana coach Hugo Broos one last opportunity to see his troops before they head to North Africa for the continental showpiece.

Playing Ghana is something which makes sense for South Africa as the Black Stars are not part of the tournament in Morocco.

“Bafana Bafana will face Ghana next week in their final match in South Africa ahead of their departure to this month’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco,” SAFA stated.

“Coach Hugo Broos’ charges will host the West Africans in Gauteng on Tuesday, 16 December 2025 at a venue that will be announced in the coming days.

“The team will then depart for Morocco on the following day ahead of their participation in the AFCON tournament to be held in Morocco from 21 December 2025 – January 2026. The stage is set for 24 African teams to battle it out in nine venues in Morocco and Côte d’Ivoire are the defending champions.”
