Pirates Goalkeeper Breaks Into Bafana Bafana Squad
Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos in studio during the South Africa national men's soccer team squad announcement at SABC Studios on 11 March 2024 in Johannesburg , South Africa.With Ronwen Williams recently recovering from injury, Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Sipho Chaine has broken into the Bafana Bafana team for the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Chaine has been a consistent performer for the Buccaneers, but has been unable to break into the senior national team. His chance has finally come and he probably has a realistic chance of featuring in one of the qualifiers against Uganda and South Sudan, considering the form he has been for the Soweto giants.
What gives Chaine an advantage is the fact that he has been playing, while the other goalkeepers wait for the Betway Premiership to start. Goss' only game so far has been the MTN8 quarterfinals against Pirates, while there has been no competitive action for Mothwa.With Sundowns Mothobi Mvala out nursing an injury, Broos will probably rely on Siyabonga Ngezana, who featured in the World Cup qualifiers against Nigeria and Zimbabwe a few months ago.
New Kaizer Chiefs signing Rushwin Dortley has made the final squad, after impressing during the Cosafa Cup a few months ago. Chiefs-linked left back Fawaaz Basadien has also made the cut. Bafana are in Group K of the qualifiers and will face Uganda and South Sudan on September 6 and 10 respectively, first at home and then away.Lyle Foster, Relebohile Mofokeng, Elias Mokwana, Themba Zwane, Oswin Appollis, Patrick Maswanganyi, Iqraam RaynersFor 14 free days, you can have access to the best from Soccer Laduma, KickOff, Daily Sun, TrueLove and Drum.
