Bafana Bafana coach Molefi Ntseki is confident that his current squad ‘will do the job’ against Sao Tome in their 2022 Afcon qualifiers.
Ntseki named his 25-man squad on Monday evening ahead of their back-to-back Afcon qualifiers against Sao Tome in November.
The first leg will be played in Durban’s Moses Mabhida Stadium on 13 November, with kick-off set for 7pm, while the away leg will take place three days later on 16 November, scheduled to kick off at 5pm.
Bafana Bafana’s locally based players will assemble on 8 November and fly straight to Durban on the same day, while the overseas players will fly directly from their respective bases to Durban to join the rest of the squad.
South Africa will begin their preparation when they conduct their first training session on 9 November.
‘The back-to-back Sao Tome games are crucial in our quest to qualify for the Cameroon Afcon tournament and I am confident that this blend of youth and experience will do the job,’ Ntseki told Safa.
