South Africa team news

South Africa enter with a largely fit squad and no significant injuries or suspensions affecting core senior internationals. The group led by captain Ronwen Williams in goal, Lyle Foster in attack, and Teboho Mokoena has shown consistency throughout qualifying.

Recent team news confirms no fresh absentees; key attacking and defensive regulars should be available for selection. 

Nigeria team news

Nigeria also have a strong squad with one injury concern. Their star striker Victor Osimhen was subbed off against Rwanda after a knock and could well miss the clash against table-topping Bafana Bafana. However, the team can call upon Premier League stars, including Alex Iwobi, Calvin Bassey, and Samuel Chukwueze, in Osimhen'sabsence. Nigeria’s recent struggles in qualifying mean there is little room for error, and all key players are expected to perform.
