Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has named his final squad for the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) in Morroco from 21 December 2025 to 18 January 2026.
On Monday, 24 November, Broos named a 54-man preliminary squad, which he has now trimmed down to a final 23.
The squad is dominated by players from Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates.
The squad includes regulars such as Teboho Mokoena, Nkosinathi Sibisi, Ronwen Williams, and Sphephelo Sithole. All four were also at the previous AFCON, where Bafana Bafana claimed bronze medal.
