Bafana Bafana coach Gordon Igesund admitted that expectations were high from the public for his makeshift squad.

Bafana Bafana takes on Namibia in their opening match of the tournament on Saturday and Igesund hopes that despite having just two days of preparations, the players will do well.

“I only met some of the players today (Wednesday). This is a completely new team and we have only two days of training before our quarterfinal match. It is not ideal, but we have to get the best out of the situation that we are faced with,” he said.
