13 November 2026 – South African Football Association (SAFA) President Dr Danny Jordaan has sent his best wishes to Bafana Bafana, the South African Under-23s and Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies ahead of a busy weekend of international football.

Bafana Bafana will get the ball rolling when they host Kenya in an eagerly anticipated 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier that will see coach Pitso Mosimane face off against opposite number Benni McCarthy.

It will be the turn of the South African U23 men’s national team on the following day when they face Madagascar in a first leg Olympic Games qualifier at the Lucas Moripe Stadium in Atteridgeville on Saturday, 14 November 2026. The two teams will be back in action for the second leg at the same venue on Tuesday, 17 November 2026.

Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies will then step onto the pitch to face defending champions AS FAR of Morocco in the final of the 2026 CAF Women’s Champions League on Sunday, 15 November 2026. Africa’s two most successful women’s clubs will battle for a record third continental title at the Suez Canal Stadium in Ismailia.

“We welcome Mbekezeli Mbokazi back from injury and wish (Bafana Bafana) HOD David Molwantwa, coach Pitso Mosimane, captain Ronwen Williams, the technical team and the players all the best in their match today. Our march to CAF AFCON  2027 must continue and we wish you all the best for today’s match,” the SAFA President said ahead of the showdown in Orlando.

“To the (South African Under-23) HOD Jack Maluleke, the coach  Raymond Mdaka and players all the best in this important match for the CAF  qualifiers for  the 2028  Los Angeles Olympics. We wish you all the best.

“We wish (Sundowns Ladies) HOD Elizabeth De Koker, the coach and players all the best. Remember, the last time we met in the final in Morrocco, AS FAR won after two of our players were sent off.  All the best.”
According to CAF, the winner of Sunday’s 2026 CAF Women’s Champions League final will receive  $600,000 in prize money and secure qualification for the second round of the FIFA Women’s Champions Cup 2027, where they will face DPR Korea’s Naegohyang WFC in December 2026.
