Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos after the match against Cameroon

Bafana Bafana face arguably their toughest test of the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco on Sunday night when they lock horns with Cameroon in a high-stakes Last 16 showdown in Rabat.

Cameroon last lifted the AFCON trophy in 2017, claiming their fifth title, and it was Broos who was in charge at the time. Now 73, the Belgian is coaching at the Africa Cup of Nations for the final time and is determined to ensure that his current side, Bafana Bafana, extend their stay in Morocco.

Broos said it's a special game, but they are going in all guns blazing.

Bafana Bafana face arguably their toughest test of the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco on Sunday night when they lock horns with Cameroon in a high-stakes Last 16 showdown in Rabat.

The Indomitable Lions sit just a couple of places above South Africa in the FIFA world rankings, but that gap has done little to dent the confidence in the Bafana camp. Hugo Broos’ charges believe they have what it takes to book a place in the quarter-finals of the continental showpiece.

Broos said there will be different mindset from his team in the knockout game.

The Lions will be desperate to get their 2026 campaign off to a winning start when they travel to Durban to take on the Sharks in a mouth-watering United Rugby Championship derby on Saturday.

It will be the first time this season that these two old foes lock horns, and all the signs point to a bruising, high-intensity affair at Kings Park.

The Johannesburg side will be looking to slow down a high-flying Sharks outfit that appears to have found fresh momentum following a change in coaching personnel. While the Lions went down narrowly to the Stormers in Cape Town a fortnight ago, there were plenty of positives to take from that gutsy display. Importantly, they have already claimed a major domestic scalp this season after beating the Bulls at Loftus Versfeld - proof that they can mix it with the best on their day.

The Sharks have received a timely boost ahead of Saturday’s United Rugby Championship derby against the Lions in Durban, with two Springboks back in the starting line-up.

Loosehead prop Ox Nché and fullback Aphelele Fassi both return from injury and slot straight into the XV, adding steel up front and class at the back for the coastal side.

Pietersen said that his side is refreshed, focused and ready to fire in their first outing of 2026.
