Bafana Bafana Need to Qualify

According for Safa, Bafana Bafana captain Aaron Mokoena believes the team needs to qualify especially after failing to be part of the last edition of the 2010 AFCON in Angola.

“It was not good watching the continent going to the tournament and we had not qualified as hosts of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. This time we need to ensure that we are on that plane to Gabon and Equatorial Guinea for the 2012 AFCON. Without taking anything away from our opponents – Niger, Sierra Leone and Egypt – our performance in the World Cup has shown that we are capable of qualifying and we have no other alternative but to do so. We owe it to ourselves and to the nation to be part of the next AFCON tournament. I cannot stress this enough that we need to qualify because being there also helps the team in gaining experience. We have a young side that needs to go through the joys and pains of playing in the AFCON so that when the World Cup tournament comes they are ready for competition,” said Mokoena.
