The South African Football Association (SAFA) has announced that Bafana Bafana will face Ghana in a friendly in preparation for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The fixture was announced by the association on Monday and will take place in Gauteng on Tuesday 16 December, though the venue is yet to be announced.
South Africa will depart for Morocco the day after the fixture.
The Black Stars did not qualify for the continental tournament, finishing at the bottom of group F with three draws and three losses from six games.
Hosted in Morocco, AFCON begins on 21 December, with Bafana Bafana in action the next day against Angola at the Stade de Marrakech.
Bafana Bafana will also face Egypt and neighbours Zimbabwe in group B.
Hopes and expectations are set high for South Africa at the upcoming AFCON after the nation claimed third place at the last edition in Côte d’Ivoire, with head coach Hugo Broos targeting a return to the podium.
