Soccer: Bafana Bafana coach names a preliminary squad for international friendlies in June

# Soccer: Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has named a 41-member preliminary squad for next month’s international friendlies against Tanzania and an as-yet-unnamed second opponent. Broos has called up several new faces, including Orlando Pirates sensation Mbekezeli Mbokazi, his teammate Simphiwe Selepe, and Kaizer Chiefs youngster Mduduzi Shabalala. The matches will serve as crucial preparation for Bafana Bafana’s upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers in September and October. The preliminary squad will be trimmed to 23 players in the coming days.
