South Africa Coach Turns to Prayer for 2026 WCQ Decisive Match

South Africa's head coach, Hugo Broos, is relying on prayer as Bafana Bafana aims to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup on the final day of the CAF qualifiers. The decisive matches on October 14, 2025, involve Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt, Algeria, Ghana, Cape Verde, Senegal, Democratic Republic of Congo, Cote d'Ivoire, and Gabon.

Broos faces challenges after a points deduction due to fielding an ineligible player, Teboho Mokoena. Despite the setback, South Africa is still in contention.

Broos remains focused on the game against Nigeria, acknowledging the need for a win and favorable results from other group games.
