SAFA Looking to Secure Bafana Bafana Prestigious Fixtures Against European Opponents

• The South African Football Association is lining up high profile opponents for Bafana Bafana according to reports
• The prestigious teams are believed to be European nations, with SAFA pencilling in the March international fixtures window for the matches
• The venues are not confirmed, though South Africa's last trip to Europe was to take on Poland in October 2012

The South Africa Football Association is looking to organise high profile European teams as Bafana Bafana's next opposition.

The fixtures, if successful would be in the March international fixture window. South Africa would have been involved in the home-and-away 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifier knockout round if all had gone according to plan.

However, SAFA president Danny Jordaan told TimesLIVE that negotiations were underway to find tough and glamorous opponents outside the continent.

Jordaan said:

"There are negotiations with a few top European countries, but these are ongoing and at present we are not able to share any details."

It has not been established where these fixtures would take place if confirmed, but South Africa's last foray into Europe was in October 2012, where they took on Poland in Warsaw. Bafana lost that match 1-0, as per KickOff.

Fan responses were not particularly positive to the report.

"They must prove their worth with African teams first. Baby steps. They will be humiliated by the European teams which is not good for their morale boost."

"Malta, Belarus and Macedonia are top countries according to SAFA."

Ghana is knocked out of AFCON 2021, Bafana Bafana fans make sure to troll Black Stars

Ghana was ignominiously knocked out of the 2021 African Cup of Nations in Cameroon, and to no one's surprise, petty Bafana Bafana supporters were there to twist the knife.

In an upset to end all upsets, Comoros sank the Black Stars 3-2 in a must-win Group C encounter for the latter at the Roumde Adjia Stadium in Garoua.

As reported on Sports Brief, the result left the Ghanaians high and dry at the bottom of the group on one point, while Morocco and Gabon qualified for the last 16.
