Kick-off is at 18:00.

10 Jun 2021

Belgian Hugo Broos is the new Bafana coach, but he will not be attending this match either as he is still in Belgium receiving his Covid-19 vaccination. 

That leaves Bafana legend and current assistant coach Helman Mkhalele as the man in charge of the side today.
