South Africas head coach, Hugo Broos, has stated that his team's focus would shift to preparations for the upcoming World Cup.
Bafana Bafana's campaign ended in the last 16 on Sunday after a 2-1 defeat to Cameroon in Rabat, a result that contrasts with their third-place finish at the previous Africa Cup of Nations AFCON in Ivory Coast.
"We are not going backwards," the veteran Belgian coach said after the match. "Maybe in some games our performances were not at the level people expect from South Africa, but you cannot say that about today."
