Petersen speaks after World Cup snub

Bafana Bafana supporters have voiced their frustration online following Brandon Petersen’s exclusion from the FIFA World Cup squad announcement.

Some fans even accused coach Hugo Broos of bias against Kaizer Chiefs, especially after only one Amakhosi player secured a place in the final selection.

Despite the disappointment, Petersen chose to focus on supporting his teammate. The goalkeeper, who recorded 15 clean sheets this season, shared a heartfelt message on Instagram Stories congratulating Bradley Cross for making the squad.

Cross is one of two uncapped players included in the team for the tournament.

“So happy and proud of you, my brother,” Petersen wrote.

Left watching from the outside

Many football fans criticised the process, arguing that inviting players to the announcement only to leave them out publicly was harsh and embarrassing.
