Jordaan backs Bafana Bafana to qualify for Afcon 2019

Bafana will once again face old enemies Nigeria among other teams where a spot at the Afcon finals will be at stake

Bafana Bafana were on Thursday handed a tricky Group for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign after being drawn alongside Nigeria, Libya and the Seychelles.

Safa president Dr Danny Jordaan feels they have the ability to beat the Super Eagles to the top spot once again as they did three years ago to book a place in the 2015 Afcon finals.

“It’s a reality of sport that you can get a tough draw, but I think we have shown over the last few matches that we are equal to Nigeria and that we have a good chance,” Jordaan told The Sowetan.
