1 November 2024 – Bafana Bafana will host their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against South Sudan at the Cape Town stadium on Tuesday, 19 November 2024.
South African Football Association (SAFA) President Dr Danny Jordaan confirmed to www.safa.net that the match – the last game of the 2025 AFCON qualifiers – would be played in the Mother City and kick off is at 18h00. The South African senior men’s national team will be returning to Cape Town for the first time since beating Angola in an international friendly match in 2015.
“Yes, the game will be played at Cape Town Stadium, and we appeal to the fans to come out in numbers to provide a festive atmosphere for the team in this final Group K match. A good crowd would be the perfect reward for a team that has withstood a tough qualifying campaign plagued by injuries to several key payers. It would also be the perfect tribute to those players,” Dr Jordaan said.
Bafana Bafana are in second place in Group K with eight points, just two behind group leaders Uganda (10 points). The 2025 AFCON qualifiers resume this month when the South African senior national team travels to Uganda to face the East Africans away from home on Friday, 15 November 2024. They then return to host South Sudan in Cape Town in the final match of the group on 19 November.
Broos named a 38-player preliminary squad a few days ago and will announce the final 23 for the two games in the coming days. Ticketing information and all activities related to the match will be communicated by SAFA in due course.
