The 3rd/4th place game of the 2023 AFCON will be played on Saturday night in Abidjan at the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny.
South Africa head coach Hugo Broos speaking to the press ahead of the game against DR Congo said that no one remembers whoever finishes 3rd as the trophy is the most important thing.
“If it were to me this game would not be played, the most important thing is number one, who people remember. This is for statistics”, said the 71-year-old Belgian tactician.
South Africa lost 4-2 on penalties against Nigeria after a 1-1 draw in 120 minutes in the semi-finals.
Hugo Broos made history by becoming the first coach to take Bafana Bafana to the semi-finals of AFCON since 2000.
