Overview
- Uncapped 20-year-olds Shandre Campbell (Club Brugge) and Tylon Smith (QPR) were selected to travel for experience rather than immediate roles.
- Mduduzi Shabalala, Iqraam Rayners and Thabo Moloisane are on standby and will stay home unless injuries force changes.
- The selection leans heavily on the domestic league, with 17 local-based players, nine from Orlando Pirates and five from Mamelodi Sundowns.
- Veterans Themba Zwane and Thapelo Morena miss out after limited game time, as Broos backs in-form picks and defends Relebohile Mofokeng’s inclusion.
- Bafana assemble in Tshwane next week for camp, aim to match at least a semifinal run, and plan a mid-December friendly before flying to Morocco.
