Broos’ charges face the Congolese in Gqeberha, Eastern Cape, on Friday, 11 October 2024 (7pm), and then they travel to Congo to play the return match on Tuesday, 15 October 2024.

The final 23-member squad will be announced in the next few days. SAFA will communicate the ticket information and the home match venue this week.
