Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has announced his preliminary squad for the crunch 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Liberia.
Bafana return to action for the first time in 2023 and it’s for their double header with Liberia, which will decide whether they will qualify for the upcoming AFCON.
Both South Africa and Liberia lost their opening Group K games against Morocco and will now battle it out for second place in the group.
There are only three teams in Group K, because Zimbabwe has remained suspended by FIFA for government interference in their football.
Bafana host Liberia at home in a must-win fixture on 24 March, before traveling for their away trip four days later.
The 35-man squad will be trimmed to 23 names when Broos picks his final squad, which is expected to be announced on 16 March.
On Tuesday, Broos announced his preliminary squad, which includes red-hot Cassius Mailula and Kobamelo Kodisang.
Below is Broos’ full 36-man squad:
