Following the confirmation by the South African Football Association that the next two Bafana Bafana games will be played in Bloemfontein, Bafana Bafana will face Lesotho and Nigeria for the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. Mamelodi Sundowns defender Mothobi Mvala is positive that Hugo Broos's squad will qualify for the World Cup.
Speaking to Sebili Molefe at Lesedi FM on Tsadipapadi, "We will qualify, we are very serious about it. I know it is very important for us to qualify, but trust me; we will." About changes at Mamelodi Sundowns, Mvala said, "To tell you the truth, it is the nature of football that at some stage other players will leave the club. It's obvious you will feel bad when your teammate leaves, but because the coach said he wants to trim the squad, so those who are lucky will remain."
"Cardoso is the coach who always wants to win, I mean he has coached a number of clubs and off the field he likes to make jokes. A team like Sundowns; every season we draft resolutions. Going into the MTN 8, it was very important for us to win. The mood is good in the camp." Masandawana drew 1-1 against Chippa United in the Betway Premiership match at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
