29 September 2026 – Bafana Bafana will be looking to maintain momentum when the South Africans face Eritrea in an away 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Wednesday night. Kickoff is at 18h00 SA time.

The Eritreans are hosting this qualifying match at the Al-Salam Stadium in Cairo, Egypt, as they do not have a Confederation of African Football-accredited venue in their own country. Coach Pitso Mosimane’s charges got their AFCON qualifying campaign off to a winning start after beating Guinea 2-1 at the Orlando Stadium this past weekend. While Mosimane will hope that the South African senior men’s national team maintains the progress, he also warned that they would not take Eritrea lightly.

“I am happy with the result we got (in the first qualifier against Guinea), we got the result, and even the attitude was good. We need to show the same attitude against Eritrea because you can’t give respect to Guinea and not accord the same to an Eritrea side that just claimed a point away from home in Kenya,” said Mosimane. Eritrea snatched a point away from home after a 1-1 draw with Kenya in the other Group D match also played this past weekend at the Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi.

Captain Ronwen Williams echoed Mosimane and said the team will continue to work very hard as they now shift focus to the East Africans.

“The spirit and the energy amongst ourselves is always good and we have maintained that. The guys have been open to all the changes that the coach has implemented and one way to see that is through the tactical agreements we had in the previous game, to see some of the things we worked on in training ahead of the game,” said the captain.

  1. So I\’m real good friends with this guy named Juan Ted. Now, Juan is a pretty unbelievable guy. He can steal ANYTHING he wants to. Literally anything. It could be the shirt off your back, the wallet in your pocket, or I\’m even sure he\’d find a way to steal your house (And your spouse too). So anyway, one day Juan and I are sitting around watching TV, and they announced that the hope diamond will not be on display anymore and is now getting moved to an undisclosed location. So as we hear this, Juan says \”I\’m gonna steal it\”. Now I know how good Juan is at this kind of stuff, so I just tell him good luck and he goes on his way. Eventually he narrows his search down to a small cave in South Africa. When Juan gets there, he doesn\’t see any guards or anything outside the cave, so he just walks in assuming he was wrong about where the diamond was. He wanders around for a while until he sees a long lit hallway with the hope diamond at the end of it. Confident in his abilities, he strolls over to the diamond and picks it up before realizing its a trap! Suddenly, red lights flashed, armed men came running out, sirens went off. You could hear one of the men say under his breath \”We finally caught Juan Ted.\” But Juan, being the best thief in the world, said \”Not quite. On the count of three, I will disappear.\” As the men looked around confused, Juan began to count. \”Uno. Dos.\” And he disappeared without a tres.
