Five Key Players For Bafana In World Cup Qualifier Against Lesotho

Bafana Bafana take on Lesotho in their 2026 Fifa World Cup qualifier at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane on Friday night 6pm looking to go top of Group C ahead of Rwanda.

South Africas preparations were slightly affected by withdrawals with coach Hugo Broos forced to replace Orlando Pirates playmaker Patrick Maswanganyi, centreback Rushwin Dortley of Kaizer Chiefs and left-back Aubrey Modiba of Mamelodi Sundowns.
