Broos’ squad will face off against Sierra Leone on September 24 and Botswana on September 27. Both games are set to begin at 15:00 at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg.

After a 2-1 defeat to Morocco in a 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying Group K match in June, and a 5-0 defeat by world champions France in a friendly international at Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Lille in March, the Belgium-born coach hopes the South African senior national team can return to winning ways.

“We start again and it is an opportunity to try and win games,” Broos told Safa.
