Bafana Bafana coach Gordon Igesund has announced a 23 man squad that will do duty against Morocco in an international friendly match to be played on Friday October 11 at Agadir New Stadium in Agadir City, Morocco.
The clash is scheduled to kick off at 19:00 local time in Morocco, 21:00 in South Africa.
Igesund has picked a balanced squad comprising youth and experience with an average age of 24 years. Twelve players ply their trade in the PSL, with the other eleven overseas-based.
Five of the squad members are uncapped – goalkeeper Ronwen Williams (Supersport United), defender Kgosi Ntlhe (Peterborough FC), midfielders, Sibusiso Vilakazi (Bidvest Wits), Ayanda Patosi (Lokeren FC) and Keagan Dolly (Ajax Cape Town FC).
Igesund has not picked up any of the Orlando Pirates players as they will be playing in the semifinal of the CAF Champions League in Tunisia a few days after Bafana Bafana’s return from Morocco.
”We seriously had to sit down and look at Pirates’ situation. We need to support them in this campaign hence I decided to leave their players out as we don’t want to jeopardise their preparations in any way,” said Igesund.
