Bafana Bafana coach Stuart Baxter names his final 23-man squad for AFCON 2019.

After a week’s camp, Baxter has trimmed the 30-man group to 23, with four players having missed out through unfortunate events.

Rivaldo Coetzee (mother’s illness), Keagan Dolly (injury), while Joel Untersee and Nikola Tavares (passports). Baxter therefore only dropped three players: Ben Motshwari, Fortune Makaringe and Kermit Erasmus.
