Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has named his team to face regional neighbours Zambia on Saturday in an international friendly ahead of the AFCON next month.
Broos has said the Bafana camp has been preparing thoroughly for the match against Chipolopolo however for him, the match isn’t much of a friendly and shouldn’t be treated no different to any match played during the World Cup qualifiers.

At a presser, the Belgian manager said “We are preparing for the friendly game against Zambia on Saturday. But for me, friendly games, do not exist. Every game we have to be focused and concentrate fully, and we have to try and win that game. It will not be any different for this game. I want to win on Saturday.”

“So it wouldn’t be a good thing if we lost the game on Saturday. I will ask every player to focus and concentrate the same way they do during the qualifiers. Even if it’s not a qualifier, I will not accept players taking this game as a little holiday. I want to win on Saturday. On the other side, it’s also the last opportunity to call some players I want to see a little bit more closer.”
