South Africa’s national football team, Bafana Bafana, is set to face South Sudan in a crucial 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier on September 10th. The match, taking place in Juba, South Sudan, is a vital encounter for both teams as they strive to secure their place in the continental tournament.  

Bafana Bafana, coming off a draw against Uganda in their opening qualifier, will be eager to bounce back with a victory. The team’s experienced players, coupled with the promising talents of younger stars, will be looking to dominate the match and secure three points. South Sudan, on the other hand, will be motivated to upset the more experienced South African side and improve their chances of qualifying for their first-ever AFCON.   

Key Players to Watch

  • South Sudan: Peter Malong, Tito Okello, Ajak Deng

Expectations and Predictions

While South Sudan has shown improvement in recent years, Bafana Bafana’s experience and quality are expected to give them a significant advantage. However, the South Sudanese team’s home-field advantage and determination could make the match a competitive affair. A victory for Bafana Bafana would solidify their position in the group and boost their confidence heading into future qualifiers.
