SMSA is ready to welcome our national team back to the home of soccer and we are behind Bafana Bafana and coach Stuart Baxter in their qualification campaign.

"Providing the infrastructure and logistical support required is only one-part of our focus ahead of such an important match. Our support for our national teams is just as important. This is a rare occasion where South Africa can come together and show the world the true spirit of the rainbow nation. Let’s get behind Bafana Bafana and show them what support really means."
