Sold Out! Cape Town Ignites As Bafana Face Panama In Final World Cup Audition
The South African Football Association (SAFA) has confirmed that Bafana Bafana’s second friendly match in Cape Town will be played before a capacity crowd.
Bafana Bafana are set to face Panama for the second time in this FIFA-sanctioned window at the DHL Stadium on Tuesday.
The two sides previously played to a 1-1 draw at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Friday, where Oswin Appollis cancelled out Yoel Barcenas’ early 23rd-minute strike.
Since Adidas took over as the national team’s kit sponsor, sales have skyrocketed—particularly for the away shirt released a few weeks ago, which will be worn during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The hype surrounding the team is palpable; Friday’s match in Durban drew nearly 40,000 spectators.
This camp marks the final gathering before coach Hugo Broos submits his official squad to FIFA on 30 May.
Consequently, the players are under immense pressure to impress the Belgian tactician before the team heads to North America.
