Bafana Bafana will be aiming to lift their first COSAFA Cup title since 2021 when they take on defending champions Angola in Sunday’s final in Bloemfontein.

Angola go into the match as favourites, having been the most dominant and well-drilled side in the tournament. The Palancas Negras have impressed with their physicality, pace, and clinical finishing, netting a plethora of goals throughout their campaign.

Bafana goalkeeper Thakasani Mbanjwa says the squad needs no added motivation heading into the final, but they are fully aware of the threat posed by Angola.
