If we exclude the CHAN and COSAFA Cups with B squads, South Africa are unbeaten in 22 matches under coach Hugo Broos.
In September’s 2026 World Cup qualifiers, they beat Lesotho 3-0 and drew 1-1 at home to Nigeria. After a 0-0 draw against Zimbabwe, a win was needed in the final qualifier to reach USA 2026.
A resounding 3-0 home win over Rwanda guaranteed qualification. Since then, Bafana Bafana have beaten Zambia 3-1 in a friendly and beaten Ghana’s B side 1-0 last Tuesday in another friendly.
Draws aplenty of Angola
Angola topped their AFCON qualifying group with four wins and two draws. World Cup qualifying did not go as well as they won just two of 10 matches (six draws).
A 2-2 draw away to Eswatini preceded a 0-0 draw away vs Cameroon in October’s qualifiers. They’ve since played three friendlies in preparation for the tournament.
A 2-0 loss to Argentina was followed by a 3-2 win over Zambia. They beat Mozambique 4-1 last Wednesday.
