Panama news

The three-time CAF Champions League winner has been without a club for over a year since leaving his last team in Iran. During this period, he has been focusing on developing young talent through his football schools. While away from the dugout, he continues to be linked with a number of teams looking to secure his services.

For long, Bucs and Masandawana have formed the backbone of the national team. Going into the World Cup finals, the same is expected to happen given the competitive levels of both teams. Now, Broos wants to see that change, and he wants other clubs to step up.

South Africa’s attack has become a growing concern ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with their forwards struggling to find form at club level. Of those players, the Burnley forward has been attracting more attention.

Mshishi was part of the South Africa squad that played Panama on Friday in an international friendly staged at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban. It was a massive return for the 36-year-old, who is hoping to make the final squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be co-hosted by Mexico, the United States, and Canada.

The players’ quest to secure places at the global football tournament continues, but the coach says he has already made up his mind about the bulk of the squad he intends to select. He insisted that even if some players deliver below expectations against Panama on Tuesday, they would still form part of his final selection.

Bafana Bafana are in action once again against the Central African state on Tuesday, as the 2026 FIFA World Cup preparations intensify. Both nations will be chasing the crown in the global tournament that will be co-hosted by Mexico, Canada, and the United States from June 11 to July 19.

South Africa return to action for a second match in four days, hosting the Central Americans in an international friendly match at Cape Town Stadium on Tuesday.

The former Amakhosi star has pointed out what Hugo Broos must sort out before it is too late. The national team is in camp for a second friendly game against Panama, which is a preparation for the upcoming global showpiece.

The Burnley star led Bafana Bafana's attacking line against Panama on Friday but failed to deliver. He was one of the players who were highly criticised, especially because of the chances he wasted. After the friendly encounter, doubts arise whether the 25-year-old striker is capable of delivering for Mzansi in the World Cup.
