How can I watch Bafana Bafana battle Panama in an international friendly on Friday?

Bafana Bafana will be hosting fellow 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers Panama in the first of two international friendlies at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Friday.

The match can be watched live on SABC Sport.

The two sides will be meeting for the second time, having previuosly met in the 2005 Gold Cup quarterfinals, where Panama won 5-3 on penalties following a 1-1 draw. 

South Africa currently occupy 60th spot on the FIFA world rankings while the North American nation sit in 33rd position, 27 places higher than the hosts. 

Ironically, both countries last tasted defeat in January, with Bafana losing their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations Round of 16 tie against Cameroon and Panama losing to World Cup co-host Mexico, who face South Africa in the opening match in June.
