Where will the game be held?

The COSAFA Cup tournament is being hosted in South Africa this year. While Bafana’s tie against Mozambique was due to be held at the Princess Magogo Stadium, it has now been moved to the King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium at 5pm, Super Sport reports.

How does Bafana’s squad look ahead of the clash?

As reported by Goal, Bafana will be without Ethan Broos for the game. Coach Helman Mkhalele confirmed that the AmaZulu man suffered a knee injury which ruled him out of today’s encounter.

“I’m happy to announce the whole squad is back except Ethan Brooks. We hope that in the game after Mozambique he will be ready,” Mkhalele said.

What are the other quarter-final fixtures?

Namibia and Zambia have already progressed to the semi-finals of the tournament thanks to victories over Madagascar and Botswana, respectively.

Senegal versus Eswatini and South African versus Mozambique are the other fixtures that will decide the final four of the tournament.
