South Africa faces Cape Verde for a place in the CAN 2024 semi-finals on February 3 at the Charles Konan Banny stadium in Yamoussoukro. A meeting which is an opportunity to reconnect with a glorious past for Bafana BafANA, as much as to offer an exhibition platform to Hugo Broos players.

The Belgian coach also sees the CAN as a springboard for his men. “We want to try to do as well as the guys in 1996 (South Africa's only victory at CAN, Editor's note),” assured the Belgian.
