Bafana Bafana of South Africa are likely to play their final home game in the world cup qualifiers series against Rwanda at the Mbombela Stadium, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Their last game against the Super Eagles of Nigeria was played at the Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein, a pitch that is synonymous for hosting rugby games much more than football games, and was in a horrible state for the game that ended 1-1 on Tuesday.
Criticism trailed the state of the playing surface with coach of South Africa Hugo Broos calling the idea to play the game there a stupid decision. Players of the senior national team of Nigeria were also quick to point out the poor state of the pitch.
They have now decided to return to a proper football pitch not just for the home game against Rwanda, but also their final game against Zimbabwe who are playing in South Africa following the disapproval of their stadium by FIFA from hosting games.
