Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has announced a 23-man squad for next month’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Morocco.
The 70-year-old former Indomitable Lions coach whittled down the squad to 23 from the initial 37 he named last week.
Mthatha-born Cape Town City striker Khanyisa Mayo has made it into Broos’ squad after a good first season with the Citizens.
Broos’ boys will begin their journey to qualify for Ivory Coast when they face the Atlas Lions away at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat on Thursday, 9 June. Bafana are in Group K alongside Morocco and Liberia. Zimbabwe, the fourth team in the group, remain suspended by FIFA and won’t participate in the qualifiers.
The squad:
Ronwen Williams, Veli Mothwa, Bruce Bvuma, Nyiko Mobbie, Khuliso Mudau, Bandile Shandu, Grant Kekana, Thibang Phete, Taariq Fielies, Terrence Mashego, Lyle Lakay, Innocent Maela, Sphephelo Sithole, Goodman Mosele, Yusuf Maart, Phathutshedzo Nange, Thembinkosi Lorch, Evidence Makgopa, Khanyisa Mayo, Fagrie Lakay, Lyle Foster, Bongokuhle Hlongwane, Percy Tau
