South Africa Names Squad for Crucial 2026 WCQ Amid FIFA Deduction Threat

South Africa's national football team, Bafana Bafana, announced their squad for the final 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers as they prepare to face Zimbabwe and Rwanda. Head coach Hugo Broos revealed the preliminary team ahead of the crucial matches in Group C.

Despite leading the group with 17 points, South Africa faces a potential three-point deduction from FIFA due to a yellow card case involving Teboho Mokoena. The team aims to secure victories in the upcoming games to keep their hopes of qualifying for the World Cup alive.

With stiff competition from the Republic of Congo and Nigeria, Bafana Bafana is determined to maintain their position and secure a spot in the tournament.
