The presence of experienced players and representation from Mamelodi Sundowns adds strength to the Bafana Bafana squad.
Squad Selection Challenges and PSL Player Unavailability Ramoreboli faced difficulties in selecting the final squad as PSL teams did not release the majority of their regular players for the regional tournament.
As a result, the interim coach had to work with a provisional squad of 47 players before narrowing it down to the final 23.
Despite this setback, Ramoreboli persisted in building a formidable team.

The goal is clear – to win the COSAFA Cup once again.
Notable Features of the Squad and Mamelodi Sundowns’ Representation Among the selected players, Mamelodi Sundowns have the highest representation with five players in the squad.
Although these players may not be considered regular starters for the club, their inclusion adds strength and depth to the Bafana Bafana team.
Victor Letsoalo, Lyle Lakay, Bonginkosi Makume, Iqraam Rayners, and Sibongiseni Mthethwa are the Sundowns players who will contribute to the squad’s overall strength.
Inclusion of Thabo Cele and Overseas Representation Midfielder Thabo Cele, who currently plays for Radomiak Radom in Poland, has also been included in the squad.
His presence brings an international dimension to the team and adds diversity to the player pool.
Cele’s experience and skills will be valuable assets for Bafana Bafana during the COSAFA Cup.
Conclusion: The announcement of the Bafana Bafana squad for the 2023 COSAFA Cup signifies the team’s determination to clinch another victory in the tournament.
Despite challenges in squad selection and the absence of several PSL regulars, Morena Ramoreboli has assembled a competitive team.
With representation from Mamelodi Sundowns and the inclusion of players like Thabo Cele, the squad looks poised to make a strong impression in the upcoming competition.
