South Africa’s Fixtures for the African Nations Championship Revealed

With the African Nations Championship fast approaching, the tournament schedule was officially announced on Friday, June 27 — including the fixtures for Bafana Bafana.

Details: South Africa will kick off their campaign on August 8 against Algeria. Their second group match will follow on August 11, when they take on Guinea. On August 15, Bafana Bafana will face Niger, before wrapping up the group stage on August 18 with a clash against Uganda.

The African Nations Championship is a tournament organized under the auspices of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), featuring national teams composed exclusively of players who compete in their respective domestic leagues. Unlike the Africa Cup of Nations, no foreign-based players are eligible.

Reminder: CAF recently lifted the suspension of one of the teams originally set to miss the upcoming African Nations Championship.
