South Africa: 'Bafana Bafana Will Be Ready to Face Mexico' - Hugo Broos

Hugo Broos is not blinking. The South Africa coach says Bafana Bafana will be fully prepared when they walk into the Azteca Stadium to face co-hosts Mexico in their 2026 FIFA World Cup opener on Thursday.

The setting alone is massive. The Azteca is one of football's most storied venues, and Mexico will have the full weight of a home crowd behind them. Broos, however, is keeping his focus steady and his confidence public.

Not much more has been said, but the message from the camp is clear: Bafana Bafana are coming ready.
