Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has credited his team’s impressive performances and good results for the massive fan support they have been receiving, with 55,000 tickets sold out for Tuesday’s clash against Panama at the DHL Stadium in Cape Town.
The support that Bafana continue to receive is heart-warming, especially after a disappointing Africa Cup of Nations campaign in which they exited in the first round of the knockout stage after losing to Cameroon. Following that Afcon campaign, there was some uncertainty about supporters’ unwavering backing ahead of the Fifa window.

The coach has vowed that the team will continue to make the supporters’ money worth it by delivering another impressive display in the Mother City.
