‘Swimming with sharks’: Pitso Mosimane urges patience as Bafana blood starlets against Egypt

South Africa's coach Pitso Mosimane plans to rely on emerging young players in the friendly against Egypt at Cairo International Stadium. Having won his first two matches in the 2027 AFCON qualifiers, he remains in Egypt to prepare for the game, visiting his former club Al Ahly. Mosimane emphasizes patience and support from fans for the new players, and will rotate the squad to give opportunities to fringe players, newcomers, and returnees. The match is scheduled for Sunday evening at 6 pm.
