Bafana Bafana keeping it South African and going strong.

Bafana Bafana last won the competative cup, in 1996 when they won the african cup of nations here in South Africa. At that time the team was coached by a local coach, Clive Barker.

Then Bafana Bafana appointed Jomo Sono as the new coach in 1997, the team was preparing for the 1998 world cup in France. And that's when the team worst perfomance in competitions started, where the boys did not win a single game.

Things started getting worse when S.A.F.A introduced a foreign coach to our national team. That made Bafana Bafana to drop from the African Fifa rankings. And Even worse Bafana Bafana failed to qualify for the 2006 world cup in Germany.

Bafana Bafana started loosing their fan base, whereas people were no longer interested in watching the team games. The nation started questioning  S.AF.A's decision of hiring foreign coaches.

S.A.F.A took  a bigger decision by hiring one of the most experienced coaches in the world Mr Alberto Perrera, for Bafana Bafana just before the first confederation's and world cup, to be held on the African soil in 2010.  Most people were saying S.A.F.A was just wasting tax payer's money, But they turned out to be wrong. Alberto Perrera made the whole nation go to the world cup with confidence and the team got back their best support which the team lost after the Fifa world cup in 2002.

Bafana Bafana are currently number one  on the African cup of nations qualifiers log. And the boys has played 8 competative games under  the new local coach Pitso Mosimang and only lost 1-0 against the number three ranked country in the Fifa rankings United States of America. Bafana Bafana are planning to break the record, when they will be playing against Egypt this saturday at FNB stadium, because we never won against Egypt.
