Hugo Broos - Toyota Stadium pitch
Loading player...
The highly anticipated 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier between Bafana Bafana and Lesotho in Bloemfontein looks set to be moved to an alternative venue just days before kick-off.
OFM Sport can confirm that the Lesotho Football Association (LEFA) has received a directive from FIFA to change the venue for Friday’s crucial Group C clash against South Africa in Bloemfontein.
At this stage, the match is still scheduled to be played at the Toyota Stadium, but FIFA has requested that it be moved to the Dr Petrus Molemela Stadium in Rocklands due to the condition of the pitch. Urgent meetings have been taking place in a bid to find a last-minute solution.
Broos, visibly frustrated by the situation, admitted that it is beyond their control, with LEFA being the official hosts of Friday’s fixture.
