Below you’ll find the most useful info to stay ahead of the curve – from fresh match results to the next opponents on the calendar.

Recent Results and Highlights

Last weekend Bafana Bafana travelled to face their regional rivals in a World Cup qualifier. The match ended in a 1‑1 draw, with a late equaliser from forward Themba Zwane that kept South Africa unbeaten in the group. The team showed solid defensive shape for most of the game, but a missed chance in the first half let the opponents level.

Coach Hugo Broos praised the midfield trio for controlling possession, especially the young midfielder Vusi Khumalo who logged 87% pass accuracy. That stat might sound technical, but it simply means the team kept the ball moving and limited the opponent’s counter‑attacks. The win (or draw) also pushed Bafana Bafana to second place, just one point behind the group leader.

Off the pitch, the squad announced a community outreach program in Johannesburg, visiting schools and promoting youth soccer. Fans loved seeing their heroes give back, and it sparked a wave of social‑media buzz with the hashtag #BafanaGivesBack.
