Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has named a 34-member preliminary squad for the mouthwatering 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against FIFA World Cup semi-finalists Morocco next month.
Broos’ charges face the Moroccans at FNB Stadium, in Johannesburg, on Saturday (17 June 2023) with both teams having already qualified for the continental tournament to be held in Côte d’Ivoire on 13 January – 11 February 2024.
The preliminary squad will be trimmed to 23 players early next month when Broos announces his final list for the eagerly anticipated match between the two sides.
Broos also announced that a reduced pre-camp will be held from 31 May 2023 to 7 June and it will be made up of local and a few overseas-based players.
The final squad will go into camp on Sunday 11 June 2023.
