The South African senior men’s national team face the Congolese in Gqeberha, Eastern Cape, on Friday, 11 October 2024 (7pm), and then they travel to Congo to play the return match on Tuesday, 15 October 2024.
Looking ahead to the matches against Congo, Broos said he was concerned by the number of goals that his charges concede during matches.
