Hugo Broos to announce final Bafana Bafana World Cup squad tonight in Pretoria
Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos will announce his final 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup this evening during a gala send-off dinner hosted by President Cyril Ramaphosa at the Sefako Makgatho Presidential Guesthouse in Pretoria.
The Belgian tactician faces the unenviable task of trimming his preliminary group of 32 players, with the toughest decision likely coming in goal where one of Sipho Chaine, Ricardo Goss, or Brandon Petersen will be cut.
This announcement marks a significant milestone as South Africa prepares for its first World Cup appearance since 2010, with the squad set to depart for Mexico this weekend ahead of their tournament opener against the co-hosts on June 11.
