Bafana departed from Dubai following their practice match against Ghana which resulted in a 0-0 score, and are set to prepare for the tournament with another practice match against Angola on Wednesday at Cairo’s Aero Sports Club at the Ministry of Civil Aviation.

During the team’s practice game against The Black Stars, coach Stuart Baxter used two different teams, one in the first half and the other in the second period.

Despite the goalless draw, Baxter is said to have been satisfied with the exercise of giving all the players a run.

The English tactician assured the nation that his team will give it their best, adding that the level of professionalism and positive attitude shown by the players was an encouraging sign.
