    **AFCON 2025: Hugo Broos Unveils South Africa’s Final 25-Man Squad for Morocco** Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has officially released his final 25-man squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), marking the end of weeks of anticipation following the announcement of an unusually large 55-man provisional list. With the continental tournament set to kick off later this month in Morocco, Broos has opted for a well-balanced mix of experience, proven performers, and emerging stars. The final selection reflects the stability and cohesion that carried South Africa to a memorable bronze-medal finish at AFCON 2023, while also showcasing the coach’s willingness to reward form players and promising youngsters who have excelled at club level both at home and abroad. ### **Continuity at the Core** One of the standout features of Broos’ squad is his trust in the group that brought South Africa back to the continental spotlight in 2023. Key figures such as Ronwen Williams, Teboho Mokoena, Khuliso Mudau, and Evidence Makgopa maintain their places, providing leadership and tournament experience vital for navigating the pressures of AFCON. Broos has consistently emphasised the importance of continuity, insisting that maintaining a stable spine is crucial for long-term success. The selected squad underlines his philosophy, ensuring understanding and chemistry remain strengths for Bafana Bafana. ### **Emerging Talents Break Through** The 2025 AFCON squad also highlights a new generation of South African talent making waves in domestic and international competitions. Rising stars like Relebohile Mofokeng (Orlando Pirates), Shandre Campbell (Club Brugge), and Tylon Smith (QPR) have earned their places on the back of standout performances. Their inclusion signals the national team’s continued evolution, blending youthful energy with established maturity. Broos has often praised young players who show consistency and boldness in their performances, and this squad reflects that philosophy. ### **Strong Defensive Depth** At the back, Broos has opted for a well-rounded defensive unit featuring a combination of PSL stalwarts and Europe-based defenders. The likes of Siyabonga Ngezana, thriving at Romanian club FCSB, and Samukelo Kabini of Norway’s Molde FK bring valuable exposure to international football. Khuliso Mudau and Aubrey Modiba, both from Mamelodi Sundowns, continue to anchor the full-back positions, offering both defensive solidity and attacking thrust from wide areas. ### **Midfield Balance and Versatility** The midfield department boasts a familiar core, headlined by Sundowns duo Teboho Mokoena and Bathusi Aubaas. Their experience and control in the heart of the pitch are expected to be central to Bafana’s plans. Thalente Mbatha (Orlando Pirates) and Portugal-based Sphephelo Sithole add dynamism and depth, giving Broos multiple options for tactical variations throughout the tournament. ### **Potent Attack Led by Foster and Mofokeng** In attack, the squad features a mix of pace, creativity, and physical presence. Burnley striker Lyle Foster is widely expected to lead the line, supported by the likes of Evidence Makgopa, Oswin Appollis, and Relebohile Mofokeng, who continues to rise as one of South Africa’s brightest attacking prospects. The overseas-based duo of Mohau Nkota (Al-Ettifaq) and Elias Mokwana (Al Hazem) add further flair and unpredictability to South Africa’s forward options. ### **Group B Challenges Await** South Africa have been drawn into a competitive Group B alongside Angola, Egypt, and Zimbabwe. Bafana will open their campaign on **22 December against Angola**, followed by a crucial clash with African giants **Egypt on 26 December**, before concluding group action against **Zimbabwe on 29 December**. With preparations set to begin on 8 December, Broos and his squad will look to finalise tactical setups during their training camp in Morocco. Expectations are high, as the team aims to build on their 2023 success and challenge for a second continental crown—the first since their historic triumph in 1996. As AFCON 2025 approaches, South Africa’s blend of experience, talent, and renewed ambition sets the stage for what could be another unforgettable chapter in Bafana Bafana’s storied history.
