Hugo Broos Advised on Bafana Bafana’s World Cup Approach Amid Talks of Building Around Rele Mofokeng

South African men's national team head coach Hugo Broos has been adviced on the approach to use at the 2026 FIFA World Cup after Bafana Bafana struggled in their last match against Nicaragua.

The Belgian tactician recently released his final squad list for the global football tournament set to hold in North America, and they are looking forward to playing against the host Mexico and other countries in Group A.

There have been talks about the former Cameroon national team coach to build the team around Relebohile Mofokeng after the youngster's top class performance for Orlando Pirates in the just-concluded season.

"Broos has done well with building Bafana Bafana squad to this stage and I would like to see them play the same way they did at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
