South Africa coach Pitso Mosimane has finalised his squad for two 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Kenya. Bafana Bafana will host the Harambee Stars on 13 November in Johannesburg before travelling to Nairobi on 17 November, the South African Football Association reports.
South Africa coach Pitso Mosimane announced his final squad on 5 November for the two 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Kenya, the South African Football Association said. Captain Ronwen Williams and midfielder Teboho Mokoena are included despite recent injuries.
South Africa will host Kenya on Friday, 13 November, in Johannesburg at Orlando Amstel Arena before travelling to Nairobi on Tuesday, 17 November. The Bafana Bafana camp, the South African men’s national team, is due to begin in Johannesburg on 8 November.
Mosimane said he would wait to observe Williams and Mokoena’s participation in the CAF Super Cup final between their club, Mamelodi Sundowns, and USM Alger, scheduled for the Sunday before the first match. The national team’s medical staff remains in contact with Sundowns and will monitor their health. The coach will be able to replace them if doctors declare them unavailable.
This final squad follows an initial call-up of 38 players announced on 23 October for the same matches against Kenya (Mosimane’s first squad).
