Bafana Bafana secure match against Sporting Lisbon star and Atletico Madrid defender's side with game set to played at Mamelodi Sundowns' home

Bafana Bafana have secured a friendly match against Mozambique that will be played at Mamelodi Sundowns' home ground, Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria on Tuesday, 10 June 2025.

According to Safa, the final list of 23 players will be announced this week.

The Mozambique friendly is a second game for Bafana in the June Fifa international break.

Mozambique boast players like Reinildo Mandava of Atletico Madrid and Sporting Lisbon wing-back-come-attacker Geny Catamo.

South Africa will host Tanzania at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, Limpopo, on June 6.

Just a few days ago, Broos named his squad that will take part in the June friendlies.

Understandably, players from Mamelodi Sundowns were left out because the Premier Soccer League champions are set for the second leg of the Caf Champions League final against Pyramids. Thereafter, Masandawana will shift focus to the Fifa Club World Cup that will begin on June 14.

Interestingly, Broos included Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma, Yusuf Maart, and Mduduzi Shabalala in his preliminary 41-man squad. In his previous squad, no player featured in the final list that played in the March 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Mbekezeli Mbokazi from Orlando Pirates and Shandre Campbell of Club Brugge KV were included, although they were not part of the team that played and won the U20 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) title.

The two matches are expected to sharpen Bafana before they embark on the World Cup qualifying campaign in September and October.

The group leaders will face Lesotho away on September 5 before hosting Nigeria four days later.

Then, the former African champions will face Zimbabwe on October 10 and Rwanda three days later.

At the 2025 Afcon finals in Morocco, South Africa are going to play Angola on December 22, Egypt on December 26, and Zimbabwe on December 29.
