As the Africa Cup of Nations kicks off in Morocco, Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has poured cold water on suggestions that South Africa are among the leading contenders for the title, Cape town Etc reports.
Instead, Broos has pointed to the hosts and the traditional powerhouses from West Africa as the teams most likely to lift the trophy this year.
South Africa's immediate focus, however, is firmly on Monday night's Group B opener against Angola in Marrakesh. Broos has made it clear that getting off to a winning start is a priority, especially as Bafana look to prove that their bronze-medal finish in Ivory Coast last year was no coincidence.
