After a two year absence, South Africa’s Bafana Bafana have been drawn in Group E of the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire. The team finished top of Group K ahead of Morocco and Liberia, qualifying them for the tournament for the first time since 2019.
Under the guidance of head coach Hugo Broos, Bafana Bafana will face Tunisia, Mali and Namibia, who are led by South African forward Peter Shalulile. The tournament was originally scheduled to take place in June-July 2023, but was moved due to the rainy season in the country and will now run from 13 January to 11 February.
Group E is sure to be a competitive one, with Tunisia, Mali and Namibia all boasting strong squads. South Africa will be looking to make an impact and progress to the knockout stages of the tournament.
