Bafana Bafana in camp for back-to-back qualifiers against Kenya
The South African Football Association said coach Pitso Mosimane held his first training session on Monday evening, with some players still arriving from abroad. Bafana Bafana host Kenya on Friday 13 November 2026.
Bafana Bafana are back in camp for two 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Kenya, the South African Football Association, known as SAFA, said in a statement dated 9 November 2026.
The home match comes first. Bafana Bafana host Kenya, the Harambee Stars, at Orlando Amstel Arena in Johannesburg on Friday 13 November 2026. Kick-off is at 6pm.
Coach Pitso Mosimane had his first training session at Milpark Stadium on Monday evening. A few players were missing, as they were still arriving from abroad.
SAFA says the United States-based Mbekezeli Mbokazi, Lyle Foster and Puso Dithejane were expected in Johannesburg on Monday night. The Europe-based Relebohile Mofokeng and Sphephelo Sithole were also expected on Monday night. Samukele Kabini was expected to arrive on Tuesday.
Mosimane said, according to SAFA, "Be very careful when you are playing against an emotional team." SAFA reports he described Kenya as a side a bit under pressure at home.
Tickets for the Orlando match are on sale through Ticketpro. Adults pay R100 and children aged five to 12 pay R40. Children's tickets cannot be bought on their own, so buyers must select at least one adult ticket first. Gates open at 3pm.
After Orlando, Bafana Bafana travel to Nairobi for the second match on Tuesday 17 November 2026.
