Bafana Bafana boss, Hugo Broos, has announced his preliminary squad for the final AFCON qualifier against Morocco on June 17 at FNB Stadium.
With both sides having already qualified for Ivory Coast 2024, the match will give Broos an opportunity to begin his preparations for the final tournament early.
While the squad includes mostly the usual suspects, with Broos possibly looking to maintain some consistency, one glaring absentee from the squad is Burnley forward, Lyle Foster.
Among the new faces, the squad includes Iqraam Rayners who has been a revelation since returning to Stellenbosch FC, Given Msimango from TS Galaxy, and Kobamelo Kodisang, a player whom a lot of mzansi's football supporters have been calling for.

Broos will announce his final squad early next month, but before that, a mini camp will be held from May 31 to June 7, and it will give Broos enough time to prepare and make a decision on his final squad.
