A crucial match for Hugo Broos’ team.
A victory in this game would nearly guarantee a place at the 2026 World Cup.
Details: This evening, South Africa will take on Nigeria in the eighth round of Group C in the World Cup qualifiers.
In anticipation of the match, SABCSport released comments from Bafana Bafana captain Ronwen Williams, who shared his thoughts on the team’s outlook:
“It’s been a while since we’ve won against Nigeria. However, we’ve achieved good results, such as drawing in Nigeria, which shows our team is improving. We are not intimidated by Nigeria.
We are getting closer to that win. We saw this in the Africa Cup of Nations semi-final and our last qualifier, so we hope to make another big leap forward tomorrow,” Williams stated.
South Africa and Nigeria have a long-standing rivalry. Their last match ended in a 1-1 draw. Currently, Bafana Bafana lead the group with 16 points, while Nigeria sits in third with 10.
Reminder: Good news for Bafana Bafana—Osimhen will be absent for Nigeria in the upcoming match.
