10 May 2025 – A ticket to the 2025 African Nations Championship (CHAN) will be at stake when South Africa hosts Malawi in a crunch qualifier at Loftus Stadium in Tshwane on Sunday afternoon. Kickoff is at 15h00.

The continental tournament will be co-hosted for the first time by three East African countries – Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda – and coach Molefi Ntseki and his players are determined to claim the ticket by the time the dust has settled on Sunday.

“I think the most important thing is that we are professionals and these players come from PSL teams. They know what it’s like when you have to play to win, and when you are playing to win, the first thing is to lay the foundation. The foundation in this case will be a very strong defensive approach without the ball,” Ntseki said.

“We have to sweat blood without the ball, we have to minimize chances, space and time for them on the ball. We have to deal very well with set-plays should we give away set-plays. So, a no-concede approach is an approach that will definitely help us to score goals We have to come from a solid foundation defensively and also be very aggressive and robust in attack, that will definitely give us goals.

“When we look at this game, we are sending more players in attack so that we can outnumber their defensive block because even in Malawi, they were very deep defensively. This is why we could not get many chances of scoring and then from a set-play, they managed to score.”

Neo Maema will captain the team, and he said they are determined to beat Malawi, who won the first leg 1-0 at home in Lilongwe a week ago, and qualify for the tournament.

Tickets to Sunday’s match are available at Ticketpro and other participating outlets.
