Ryan Moon has been selected by South Africa’s national team head coach Stuart Baxter for the 23-man squad to face Botswana in the 2018 African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifiers.

It’s first time that the young Kaizer Chiefs striker has been called-up for the South African national side.

Bafana Bafana will meet the Zebras in the first leg on Saturday, 15 July 2017 at the Francistown Stadium in Botswana (kick-off is at 15:30).

The second leg will take place a week later at Rustenburg’s Moruleng Stadium on Saturday, 22 July (kick-off is at 15:00).

The winner will face the victor of the clash between Swaziland and Zambia. Whoever wins that match will qualify for CHAN, which will take place in Kenya from 11 January to 2 February 2018.

A total of 16 teams will qualify to play in the final tournament, including Kenya that automatically qualifies as hosts.

Only national team players who are playing in their country’s own domestic league are eligible to compete in the CHAN tournament.
