Bafana Bafana COSAFA squad Head Coach Morena Ramoreboli has named a preliminary squad ahead of the upcoming 2023 Senior Men’s COSAFA Cup.
The tournament will take place from 5 – 16 July 2023, in Durban, KwaZulu Natal and the South African senior national team will report for camp on 27 July 2023, where the final 21 men squad will be announced.
Ramoreboli is familiar with coaching in this tournament as he played a major role in Bafana Bafana’s triumph in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. He will be assisted by Raymond Mdaka.
SAFA Technical Director Walter Steenbok said the two coaches had what it takes to do well in this year’s tournament.
“We look forward to playing this year’s COSAFA Cup, and believe that our scouting team has done a great job in scouting players in the First Division, our former U23 players and players on the verge of breaking into the Bafana Bafana team;” explained the Botswana Premier League winning coach.
“Coach Ramoreboli has the necessary experience and support to ensure that we do well in this regional championship. We hope his exploits in the previous tournament will galvanize the troops to have the motivation of raising their hands for future Bafana Bafana duties;” said SAFA Technical Director Walter Steenbok.
