Head coach of the Bafana Bafana of South Africa Hugo Broos has named his final 23-man squad to face the Super Eagles of Nigeria in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier next month in Uyo, www.aclsports.com reports.

In the highly anticipated clash, Bafana Bafana will trade tackles with the Super Eagles at the magnificent Godswill Akpabio Stadium later next week.

Burnley forward Lyle Foster returns to the squad after missing the AFCON. Skipper Ronwen Williams, Teboho Mokoena and Themba Zwane are some of the usual suspects in the Bafana Bafana squad.

The South Africans are expected to arrive aboard a chartered flight from Johannesburg to Uyo for the important fixture and Broos has expressed his delight about the arrangement.

“It is very important that we are travelling by charter,” the 2017 AFCON winner said.

“You can spend two days travelling (on a commercial airline). You leave on Wednesday and arrive on Thursday night, it’s terrible. We did it two years ago against Ethiopia, we won here against Ethiopia, but we ran after the ball, we didn’t touch the ball and we won it. But we could have lost that game because the players were exhausted.

“We could not afford to repeat that again and SAFA did a very big effort to have that charter. I’m very happy with it. So now we will fly to Lagos, from Lagos to Uyo, done.

“Ok, the flight will not be two or three hours, but it’s only Lagos and we are finished. This is what I wanted and again, I’m very happy that we could achieve it,” Broos concluded.

It will be recalled that the Super Eagles defeated the South Africans at the semifinals of the 2023 AFCON in Bouake, Cote d’Ivoire.

The Super Eagles and Bafana Bafana clash has been scheduled to kickoff by 8pm on Friday, 7th June in Uyo.
