“I count myself as part of football in this country. Allow myself please to feel South African in supporting Bafana Bafana.”
The draw for the tournament that will be staged from June 21 to July 19 will take place on Friday at 8pm SA time‚ at the Pyramids in the Egyptian capital Cairo.
“I will tell you that in a format of 24 teams it is not a disaster to be in Pot 3‚ having in mind that‚ yes‚ you can have very hard teams‚ but what is important is that once you get to know your opposition you go in the deepest possible of details and prepare well‚” said the 49-year-old Serbian.That means they will be pitted with one of the powerhouses in Pot 1 of hosts Egypt‚ defending champions Cameroon‚ Morocco‚ Tunisia‚ Ivory Coast and Senegal.
South Africa are guaranteed at least one “weaker” team from Pot 4 of Uganda‚ Guinea-Bissau‚ Zimbabwe‚ Angola and Burundi. Sredojevic‚ who says he has visited 51 countries on the continent‚ has also coached in Rwanda‚ Ethiopia and Sudan.
