South Africa coach Hugo Broos eyes AFCON 2025 glory in Morocco

South Africa head coach, Hugo Broos, has set sights on securing the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations title in Morocco.

The 35th edition of the continental showpiece has been scheduled to take place in the North African country from December 21 through to January 18, 2026, with 24 countries set to battle it out for the covetous trophy.

The Bafana Bafana are paired in the same group against record AFCON holders, Egypt, Angola, and Zimbabwe at the continental showpiece. They will open their account on December 22 against Angola.

Despite acknowledging the difficulties in annexing the trophy, Broos, who led the team to finish third last term has set sights on winning the ultimate this time.

“I think we did it very well two years ago at AFCON, and I think we can’t be happy if we don’t come back with the same result. I think this year we have to go even more,” he said.

“But this is the tournament that is very difficult, but I think we have the qualities to do it. We will try to bring gold,” Broos said confidently.

South Africa wrapped up preparations for the tournament with a narrow victory over the Black Galaxies of Ghana on Tuesday.
