Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has named his starting lineup in their must-win 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier versus Rwanda, with Orlando Pirates forward Evidence Makgopa leading the attack.
South Africa aims to win its final Group C encounter and hope that Benin loses against Nigeria. This would secure the team automatic qualification, thus avoiding the need to participate in playoffs. In case Benin and Nigeria draw, Bafana would need to win by a margin of two goals or more depending on whether Benins scoreline.
Kick-off for both games is 18:00. Bafana host Rwanda at Mbombela Stadium in Mpumalanga while Nigeria host Benin.
