Bafana Bafana are preparing for two consecutive encounters against Kenya as they continue their campaign to qualify for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

South Africa will host Kenya at Orlando Amstel Arena in Soweto on Friday before travelling to Nairobi for the return fixture next Tuesday.

First Clash Set for Soweto

The first encounter will take place in front of South African supporters, with Bafana Bafana looking to make the most of their home advantage.

Playing at Orlando Amstel Arena gives the national team an opportunity to secure a positive result before heading to Kenya for the second meeting.

The technical team will also be looking to ensure the players are prepared for the challenge posed by their opponents.

Return Match in Nairobi

Following Friday's fixture, Bafana Bafana will travel to Nairobi, where they will face Kenya again next Tuesday.

The back-to-back meetings present an important test for both national teams as they pursue their AFCON 2027 qualification ambitions.

Kenya will also be looking to make an impression, particularly when they welcome South Africa on home soil.

Focus on AFCON 2027 Qualification

With two encounters scheduled within a few days, the results could have an important impact on the teams' qualification campaigns.

Bafana Bafana will be hoping to collect valuable points from both matches as they work towards securing a place at the 2027 tournament.
