“MY WISH is to see my team progress to the elimination stages at the 2026 World Cup”, says Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos.
He was speaking to members of the press at the launch of HONOR 600 Series, held at the Gallager Convention Center, Midrand on Wednesday evening.
Having released preliminary squad ahead of the WC opener with one of the host cities- Mexico- Broos, who looked relaxed in a suit and Adidas sneakers, remarked he’s ready to retire and Bafana should make sure he enjoys his retirement, by progressing to elimination stages.
“Its my dream that I’ve been working on for sometime now, and the boys are ready to face the world and show their mettle on the pitch, come the opener on June 11,” he said, after taking a cold one alongside his goalkeeper coach.
With the exception of players who are doing duty for their respective side as the PSL season comes to a close, and Mamelodi Sundowns playing their final against a Morocco outfit (of which they are leading by a goal), other celebrities braced the evening cold and came to experience this talked about HONOR 600 Series launch.
Bafana play their farewell match next weekend at Orlando Stadium against Nicaragua.
