2023 AFCON qualifiers: South Africa coach Hugo Broos names preliminary squad for Morocco clash

[Latest Football News, Live Scores, Results -]

South Africa coach Hugo Broos has unveiled a 34-member preliminary squad in preparation for the highly anticipated 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Morocco.

The match is scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 17, 2023, at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg.

Both teams, South Africa and Morocco, have already secured their spots in the continental tournament, which is set to be held in Côte d'Ivoire from January 13 to February 11, 2024.

As the date approaches, Broos will carefully evaluate his preliminary squad and make the tough decision of reducing it to a final roster of 23 players.

The announcement of the final squad is expected to be made early next month, as the team intensifies its preparations for the crucial clash against Morocco.
