), Corbin Mthunzi (Ipswich Town F. C. ), and Emmanuel Jalai (Durban City FC), who join the national team for the first time since 2023.
The midfield also features Mongameli Tshuma, Marvelous Nakamba, and Aboubacar Moffat. Defenders include Tawanda Maswanhise of Motherwell FC and Senior Zindoga from TS Galaxy, while attackers like Bill Antonio of KV Mechelen and Daniel Msendami from Orlando Pirates are part of the squad.
