HUGO Broos included six players in his final 26-man Bafana Bafana squad bound for the 2026 Fifa World Cup.
From England to Norway and the United States, several South Africans have quietly built reputations in competitive leagues across the globe — and dersevedly they form the backbone of Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos’ World Cup plans.
Leading that list is Burnley striker Lyle Foster, whose importance to Bafana continues to grow with every international window.
The Johannesburg-born forward has fought his way back into the plans of Broos over the last two years and now is the first choice in the number nine role.
The powerful forward remains South Africa’s biggest attacking weapon overseas, bringing Premier League intensity and experience to Broos’ evolving side.
