Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has suggested that South Africa is now counting on Nigeria to beat the Benin Republic in their final Group C 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Tuesday.
According to Broos, a victory for Nigeria would benefit South Africa to top the group if they also beat Rwanda in their own encounter.
The 73-year-old Belgian spoke after South Africa played a 0-0 draw with Zimbabwe in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier in Durban on Friday.
