The provisional squad features a blend of experienced internationals and exciting young talent as the South African national team continues preparations for upcoming international competitions.

Broos is expected to use the friendly fixtures to assess player form, test combinations, and give opportunities to players who have impressed at club level.

The matches against Panama will provide valuable international exposure for the squad and allow the technical team to fine-tune tactics while building momentum.

The friendlies are also an opportunity for players to stake their claim for a place in the final squad as Bafana Bafana continue their journey of rebuilding and strengthening the national team.

The final squad is expected to be confirmed closer to the match dates, with Broos likely to trim the preliminary list after evaluating player fitness and club commitments.
