Broos Warns Bafana Bafana Against Slip-Up Ahead of Lesotho Clash
With just 24 hours to go before South Africa face Lesotho in a crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier, head coach Hugo Broos has issued a stern warning to his players, stressing that anything short of victory could spell serious trouble for their campaign, writes Nigeriasoccernet.com.
Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Broos made it clear that while Nigeria remains the group’s strongest opponent, his immediate focus is entirely on the Crocodiles of Lesotho.
“First of all, let’s start with Lesotho. I don’t want to think about Nigeria for the moment. I have seen their games in the past, and that’s enough for me for now. We will start focusing on them after the game with Lesotho,” Broos said.
“At this moment, the most important thing is the game against Lesotho. We must get a victory against them because if we fail to do that, we will have more troubles in the future.”
South Africa is desperate to return to the World Cup stage after missing out in 2022. With Nigeria and Rwanda also in the group, dropped points against lower-ranked opposition could prove costly.
Broos’ men will therefore be under pressure to deliver a convincing performance and ensure they stay on course for a place at the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
