    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    In the 2023 edition, Bafana Bafana showcased their strength, ultimately securing a bronze medal after defeating DR Congo in the third-place playoff match.

    This will mark South Africa's 13th participation in the continent's biggest football tournament. The 2010 Fifa World Cup hosts last claimed the Afcon title in 1996 under the late Clive Barker.

    Bafana's participation in this year's tournament presents another chance to display their quality and skills in the continental tournament.
