Brees-creating a 'unified' Bafana
The Citizen|November 21, 2024

Broos can focus on some family time and his favourite hobby of cycling in the Belgian mountains after a wonderful 2024.

It all began with a brilliant bronze at the Africa Cup of Nations finals in the Ivory Coast and ended with a celebratory 3-o win over South Sudan on Tuesday in front of a capacity crowd at Cape Town Stadium.

Fans, it seems, have fallen back in love with Bafana, and the players certainly seem to have enjoyed playing under the 72-year-old Belgian.
