Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has expressed his ambition, stating, ”It was a fantastic experience winning (AFCON) six years ago. And if you ask me, do I want to do it again, sure I want to do it again.” Broos said.

The 73-year-old Belgian mentor, who triumphed in the 2017 African Cup of Nations with Cameroon, is determined to replicate that success, guiding Bafana to qualify for the upcoming Afcon after missing out in 2021.

Regarding their group stage opponents, Mali, Namibia, and Tunisia, Broos remains cautious, stating, “Maybe it’s too soon, but I have a feeling that the players want to start training and prepare for Afcon, and I have a good feeling about that.”

Despite acknowledging the challenge, Broos believes in his team’s potential, saying, “I think that the four days that the players have been off have been very good. A lot of players were exhausted after the last game and they needed time off with family, not thinking about football.”

As they gear up for the Afcon challenge, Broos emphasises the importance of focused preparation and remains optimistic about causing upsets if his players perform at their best.
