Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos did not spring any major surprises as he announced his final squad for the 2026 World Cup in Pretoria on Wednesday night.
The squad was disclosed in a ceremony at Sefako Makgatho Presidential Guest House, part of the Union Buildings complex in Pretoria, where President Cyril Ramaphosa greeted the players on stage with Broos.
Olwethu Makhanya, the 22-year-old former Stellenbosch FC centreback who has impressed in the South African junior team ranks and is now on the books of Philadelphia Union in the USs Major League Soccer, got the nod.
