South Africa's national soccer team will host Zambia in a friendly match November 15, 2025, at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. local time. Coach Hugo Broos arranged the contest as preparation for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Morocco. The South African Football Association confirmed the venue Wednesday. Ticket sales details will follow soon. This fixture marks Bafana Bafana's first appearance in the Eastern Cape province in several years.

Broos finalized his 23-player squad Thursday after initially naming a larger provisional group. Zambia arrives without head coach Avram Grant, who resigned October 29. South Africa currently leads its 2026 World Cup qualifying group. At the December Africa Cup of Nations, Bafana Bafana will face Egypt, Cape Verde and Tanzania in Group B. The continental championship begins December 21 across six Moroccan host cities. Both teams seek competitive readiness before these major tournaments.
