Bafana Bafana, the South African national football team, will face Egypt in an international friendly match on October 4 at Cairo International Stadium. The game is part of preparations for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Newly appointed coach Pitso Mosimane, who previously coached Egyptian club Al Ahly SC, will oversee the match.
The friendly will take place in Cairo, where Mosimane previously worked for two years. During his time with Al Ahly, he led the team to two consecutive CAF Champions League titles. This match is one of three important games scheduled for Bafana Bafana in a short period.
The game against Egypt is seen as a key opportunity for the team to test its readiness ahead of the qualifiers. The match will be played at Cairo International Stadium, a venue familiar to Mosimane from his time in Egypt. The friendly is expected to draw significant attention due to the high-profile nature of the opponent.
Bafana Bafana’s upcoming fixtures will include three matches in a short timeframe, highlighting the team’s busy schedule under Mosimane’s leadership. The October 4 match against Egypt is a crucial step in their preparations for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
