Bafana Bafana coach Gordon Igesund is prepared to take risks as he switches his focus on building a team for the 2015 African Cup of Nations and the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.

Bafana leave for Morocco tonight where they will play an international friendly match at Agadir City on Friday. With the pressures of trying to qualify for Brazil 2014 now off his shoulders, Igesund is starting a new chapter with Bafana Bafana.

The team does not have a good record on the continent, but recently away wins were recorded against Kenya and the Central African Republic.

According to Igesund, winning at all costs is not the main priority at this stage. Unfortunately, Bafana Bafana have been hit by another withdrawal. Dutch-based anchorman Kamohelo Mokotjo picked up an injury whilst playing for FC Zwolle on Sunday. He was earmarked to replace another injured player, Crystal Palace’s Kagisho Dikgacoi.

Morocco, who have also failed to qualify for the 2014 World Cup, will host the next African Cup of Nations tournament and are taking this match seriously.
