Mosimane warns Bafana Bafana not to underestimate co-hosts Kenya in back-to-back AFCON qualifiers
South Africa host Benni McCarthy's Harambee Stars in Soweto on Friday before the return in Nairobi next Tuesday.
Johannesburg — Bafana Bafana coach Pitso Mosimane has told his players to take nothing for granted when they meet Kenya twice in Africa Cup of Nations qualifying over the next week.
South Africa host Kenya at Orlando in Soweto on Friday, then travel to Nairobi for the return match next Tuesday.
Already through
Kenya have already qualified for the 2027 finals as co-hosts, alongside Tanzania and Uganda. Mosimane said that should make his side more careful, not less.
"They are already in the AFCON qualifiers, the finals, so we need to be very careful of that space," he said.
He also praised Kenya's coach, Benni McCarthy, as a fighter and a winner who deserves respect.
