The South African Football Association (SAFA) announced on Friday evening that World Cup-bound Bafana Bafana are going to play an international friendly match against Nicaragua at the Orlando Amstel Arena in Soweto on Friday, 29 May.
This friendly match is going to take place just two days after Bafana coach Hugo Brooks had announced his squad for the FIFA World Cup finals. The tournament is going to be co-hosted by Canada, Mexico and the United States of America (USA) between June and July this year.
Widely known as La Azul y Blanco, the Nicaraguans are not the strongest in the CONCACAF region and the fact that they are ranked 131 by FIFA proves that. They have won once, drawn once and lost six times in their last eight games.
