On the final matchday of the Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers 2025, South Africa will lock horns against already eliminated South Sudan for a Group K fixture at home in Cape Town Stadium on Tuesday.
Despite the fact, that this match holds no major significance for either side, as the Bafana Bafana have already secured their qualification booking a berth in the AFCON 2025 set to take place in Morocco.
