27 January 2025 – Bafana Bafana now know the identity of the sides they will face in the group stages of the 2025 CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) after the Final Draw was conducted in Rabat, Morocco, on Monday night.
The South African senior men’s national team was one of the 24 teams that have qualified for the continental tournament and coach Hugo Broos’ charges were drawn in Group B where they will face Egypt, Angola and Zimbabwe.
SAFA President Dr Danny Jordaan, Bafana Bafana assistant coach Helman Mkhalele and Team Manager Vincent Tseka attended the draw in Rabat.

The AFCON bronze medalists qualified for the 2025 tournament after finishing Group K undefeated and perched at the summit last year, with many observers insisting that they have become one of the toughest and most difficult teams to play against on the continent.

Bafana Bafana will resume their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers at home to Lesotho and away to Benin in March 2025.

The cricket pitch is 20.12 meters (22 yards) in length and 3.05 meters (3.33 yards) in width. The length of 22 yards is considered a chain, which was used as a standard of measurement for land during the 18th century. The chain is 1/10th of a unit of measurement called furlong, which is the average length of land that a team of workers could plough in one day.
