South Africa were drawn to face Angola, Zimbabwe and Egypt at the AFCON finals that take place in Morocco at the end of 2025 after the draw was conducted in the North African country on Tuesday.

Broos led Bafana to third place in the Ivory Coast earlier this year and will be eyeing an even better finish in the upcoming tournament.

Reflecting on the draw, Broos said in the Sowetan: "So, in general, I think we can be satisfied. It is not an easy group. On the other hand, I think we have a great opportunity to qualify for the next round of the AFCON.

"And then as you know, after the group stages of AFCON anything is possible. So, we will do everything to do better than the last AFCON."

Broos added that Egypt will be his side's biggest threat.

"When I look at our opponents for AFCON, I think that Egypt are the favourites to win the group. They didn't do well at the last AFCON, they didn't perform like everybody expected and they were soon out of the tournament," he said.

"But I think in the last year and a half they have built a good team. They did well in the qualifiers, so they will be the team to beat for the first place.

"Then we have Zimbabwe again. This is the fourth time we have played against Zimbabwe, we played against them in the qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup in Qatar and we played against them for the qualification of the last AFCON, but they were suspended, so there was no game between them and us.

"We are playing against Zimbabwe in the qualifiers for the next World Cup. We have them again now in the next AFCON.

"So, winning against Zimbabwe is possible in the AFCON. And then we have Angola. Angola is a team I don't know well. So, it will be important to do a good analysis of our opponent Angola and to be well prepared to play that game."
