Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has announced a provisional 34-man squad to start preparing for the crucial back-to-back 2022 Qatar FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Ethiopia in October.

Orlando Pirates trio Goodman Mosele, Vincent Pule and Tshegofatso Mabasa made the cut, while Luke Fleurs of SuperSport United and Tercious Malepe of AmaZulu also received a call-up to the national team.

South Africa are top of Group G with four points from two games following their goalless away draw to Zimbabwe before beating Ghana 1-0 at FNB Stadium three days later.

With just four fixtures remaining for this round of the qualifications, Bafana will now shift their focus to taking on the East Africans.

Broos and Bafana travel to Ethiopia on Saturday, 9 October before welcoming the same opponents for the return leg at FNB Stadium on Tuesday, 12 October. (kick-off times to be announced)

The 69-year-old Broos is expected to cut down his final 23-man squad on Saturday, 25 September LIVE on SABC 1 at 13:30.
