Bafana Bafana drawn against Mohamed Salah's Egypt & Olisa Ndah's Nigeria to face Tunisia at 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco

Bafana Bafana discovered their group-stage opponents for the forthcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations finals after the draw was conducted on Monday night.

The draw took place at the Mohammed V National Theatre in Rabat, Morocco.

The 24 participating teams were split into six groups consisting of four teams each, with hosts Morocco automatically placed in Group A.

Hugo Broos' team have been drawn in Group B alongside neighbours Zimbabwe, Mohamed Salah's Egypt and Angola.

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.
