Bafana Bafana vs Niger CHAN Preview: Kick-off time, TV channel & squad news

Bafana Bafana will be back in action for their third 2024 African Nations Championship match in Group C against Niger on Friday at Kampala's Mandela National Stadium.

After an opening 1-1 draw against Algeria, South Africa masterminded a 2-1 win over Guinea.

On the other hand, Niger go into this fixture with additional pressure, having lost two of their last group matches against co-hosts Uganda and Guinea.

Bafana are a step away from the quarter-finals, and what remains now is to avoid a last-minute fumble in order to seal the qualification.

A win will see the COSAFA nation reach the knockout stage, but a draw will also leave them in a strong position to do so.

This could be another chance for the experienced Thabiso Kutumela to shine again in front of Africa. The former Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns star is enjoying an impressive moment at CHAN, as he scored against Algeria before registering an assist and a goal against Guinea.

Here, GOAL brings you all the details you need to know about how to watch the match between South Africa and Niger, including TV channels, streaming details, team news, and more.
