Boxing“Chiefs Need to Improve”: Broos Explains Why He Didn’t Select Amakhosi Players
- Hugo Broos has announced his 23-man team for Bafana Bafana's games against Namibia and DR Congo
- Once again, no Kaizer Chiefs players have been selected by the Belgian manager for his final squad
- Broos believes that Chiefs' players don't deserve to be in the squad based on their performances
The Bafana Bafana squad has been announced, and once again, no Kaizer Chiefs players have made the cut.
Coach Hugo Broos unveiled his 23-man squad, which will contest two friendlies in September.
As noted by News24, seven players from Mamelodi Sundowns made the cut, as did five stars from Orlando Pirates, but there is no representation from the Amakhosi.
Speaking about the decision to omit anyone from The Glamour Boys, Broos said that the club needed to improve. He highlighted that Chiefs were far behind Sundowns at the top of the DStv Premiership after only a handful of games, which shouldn’t be the case. Sundowns currently lead Chiefs by 11 points on the table, having played a game more.
He then added that he was at a Chiefs game recently to watch them in action.
“I’m very sorry, but for now, for the moment, there is no player that deserves to be a Bafana Bafana player,” Broos said.
Bafana’s next games
South Africa will take on Namibia on September 9 and then DR Congo three days later. The games will provide Broos with a platform to fine-tune his side for next year's Africa Cup of Nations and the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
