Local players chosen for Bafana squad to meet Malawi

25 September 2008





Bafana Bafana national team coach Joel Natalino Santana has announced a 23-man squad of South African-based players for the friendly match against Malawi at the Germiston Stadium on Tuesday, 30 September 2008, at 7pm.

Santana says this is an opportunity for each player to showcase what they are made of.


“This is part of the original programme of using 2007 and 2008 to identify and give those players a chance to be in the National Team," he said in a statement. "From this game, we are more interested in what each player can offer to the country as we work towards the core of the Team.

"It is also a platform for the players to gain international experience. We want to see the character of some of the players at this level of the game,” says Santana.

Tickets for the game are R20 for the grass embankment and R30 in the main grandstand and are already on sale at Computicket, Shoprite and Checkers Hyper stores.
