Stuart Baxter announces Bafana Bafana squads for Afcon 2019 and Cosafa tournaments

Bafana Bafana head coach Stuart Baxter has announced two separate squads for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) as well as the Cosafa tournaments.

South Africa will again host the regional tournament which gets underway this week before jetting off to Egypt for the start of Afcon in June.

Baxter selected a relatively young team for the Cosafa Cup tournament, but he also kept the core of the team that played part in the previous editions.

The squad also includes players who were not regulars for their respective teams this past season; and they include Bloemfontein Celtic goalkeeper Mondli Mpoto and Mamelodi Sundowns shot-stopper Reyaad Pieterse, who managed a mere five appearances in all competitions in his first season with the Tshwane-based club.
