Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has announced his squad for the upcoming
international friendly against Zambia, introducing a handful of new players
as the team begins its final preparations for the Africa Cup of Nations
(AFCON).
With limited opportunities to test his team before the tournament in Morocco
next month, the match against Chipolopolo next Saturday is a crucial step.
Broos recently indicated he would not be making sweeping changes, a promise
reflected in a squad that maintains a strong core while offering chances to
fresh talent.
Notable inclusions in the roster are Keletso Makgalwa and Masindi Nemtajela,
who will get the opportunity to impress the coaching staff.
The team is scheduled to assemble for camp on Monday ahead of the friendly
clash.
Full Squad:
Goalkeepers: Ronwen Williams, Ricardo Goss, Sipho Chaine
Defenders: Mbekezeli Mbokazi, Siyabonga Ngezana, Khulumani Ndamane,
