Bafana Bafana head coach Pitso Mosimane has named his final 27-member squad for this month’s back-to-back 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Kenya.
South Africa will host the Harambe stars at Orlando Amstel Arena in Johannesburg on Friday, 13 November 2026. Before travelling to Nairobi four days later for the return match on Tuesday, 17 November 2026.
Mosimane and his charges got off to a perfect start in the AFCON 2027 qualifiers, beating Guinea 2-1 at home before thrashing Eritrea 5-0 away in a neutral venue.

Bafana Bafana currently lead the Group D log with six points, three ahead of Guinea, while Kenya and Eritrea have one point each.
Due to Kenya being one of the co-hosts of the 2027 AFCON, only one team from the group will qualify for the tournament, meaning Bafana need to secure top spot to qualify.
