Team Overview
Bafana Bafana return to the World Cup for the first time since hosting in 2010, qualified under the steady hand of Hugo Broos. South Africa have rebuilt with a generation of talent playing across Europe, and Percy Tau leads a side that has rediscovered the belief that saw them shock the world as the 2010 hosts.
