Mon Dec 29 15:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Bafana Bafana Face Zimbabwe in Crucial Africa Cup of Nations Clash
Johannesburg, South Africa – December 29, 2025 – South Africa’s national football team, Bafana Bafana, face a high-stakes encounter with Zimbabwe in their final Group B match of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. Despite holding second place in the group with three points, a recent loss to Egypt has left their qualification hopes hanging in the balance.
A victory against Zimbabwe would secure their passage to the next round, but the Warriors are a formidable opponent, fighting to keep their tournament dreams alive. Currently sitting on just one point, Zimbabwe need a win to stand any chance of progressing. A win coupled with an Angola loss against Egypt would see Zimbabwe leapfrog into second place.
The pressure is mounting as the group stage nears its conclusion. Both teams have everything to play for, making this a must-win match for Zimbabwe and a crucial game for South Africa to solidify their qualification.
This week also sees other significant matches including Egypt vs Angola, Colombia U20 vs South Africa U20 in the U20 World Cup round of 16 and Zambia vs Morocco in the Africa Cup of Nations group stage.
