Bafana Bafana will host Kenya in Orlando, Soweto on Friday before they travel to Nairobi for their second match against the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations co-hosts next Tuesday.
Bafana Bafana coach Pitso Mosimane says he is ready to host South Africa’s Benni McCarthy side, Kenya, at Orlando Amstel Arena this Friday.
Mosimane says it is very important not to undermine the Kenyans as they have already qualified.
He insists that his players should respect the Harambe Stars coach, McCarthy, who is known for his fighting spirit and being a winner.
“They are already in the AFCON qualifiers, the finals, so we need to be very careful of that space. That’s what we are doing: we take nothing for granted, and also you are mentioning Benni, and you know the personality, the character, the will to win, the personality of fighting football for his name, for his work, and you have to respect that Benni is a good coach.”
Bafana Bafana head coach Pitso Mosimane gives the latest update from the camp as the team looks ahead to two AFCON 2027 qualifiers against co-hosts Kenya this week.
