As part of their intensive preparations for the 2026 World Cup, Bafana Bafana will face Panama twice next month.

These matches will take place on March 27 in Durban (Moses Mabhida Stadium) and March 31 in Cape Town (DHL Stadium).

Hugo Broos is counting on the world’s 33rd-ranked nation to provide high-level opposition, simulating the physical and technical challenge that South Africa will face in its opening match against Mexico.

Facing a disciplined and athletic Panamanian team, Ronwen Williams and his teammates will have to prove that they have taken their game to the next level.

These two matches promise an electric atmosphere in South African stadiums, marking the real kickoff of the World Cup campaign for an entire nation.
