- AFCON 2025 group stage opponents include Egypt, Angola, and Zimbabwe.
As South Africa gears up for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, their path through Group B has been set against Egypt, Angola, and Zimbabwe. Bafana Bafana holds a dominant historical advantage over Egypt, having secured victory in eight of their fourteen previous clashes, with only four losses. This promising record sets a positive tone for their upcoming campaign.

This suggests another potentially favorable matchup for Bafana Bafana in the group stage.
However, the draw presents a stern challenge against Zimbabwe. Historically, these two Southern African rivals have been closely matched, with South Africa securing eight wins against Zimbabwe's seven in nineteen encounters. Four matches have concluded without a winner, highlighting the competitive nature of their fixtures.
