Bafana Bafana will face Burkina Faso in a 2018 World Cup qualifier at the FNB Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
With dwindling ticket sales for the World Cup Qualification match, several Bafana Bafana players have asked the public to attend the match despite South Africa’s slim chances of qualifying for the World Cup.
