Durban’s Moses Mabhida Stadium and DHL Cape Town Stadium will host Bafana Bafana’s two international friendly matches against Panama next month.

The South African senior men’s national team will host the first match at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Friday, 27 March, before facing the Central American country in the second game in Cape Town on Tuesday, 31 March.

The matches form a critical component of head coach Hugo Broos’ build-up programme ahead of the FIFA World Cup, which will be hosted by the United States of America, Canada and Mexico from 11 June to 19 July 2026.

Bafana Bafana return to Durban for the first time since they were held to a goalless draw by Zimbabwe in a tense 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier played at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in October 2025.

Tickets to the two matches between Bafana Bafana and Panama will open from R80.00 for adults and R50.00 for children under 12 years old. The tickets will be available from Thursday, 26 February.
