Following an annoncement that Bafana Bafana will play Brazil on March 5, 2014, at the FNB Stadium where just last month they beat World and European Champions, Spain, Bafana coach Gordon Igesund said that playing Brazil is a great opportunity for any team in the world.

He said that as a team they are ready for the challenge of playing against the five time World Champions.

"When I met the SAFA President in October to talk about the friendly game against Spain I knew that he is ready to bring in top teams which we can play against and it shows that we have to prepare ourselves for such games. We played against Spain which had nine World Cup winning players in their team and we beat them. Now we are ready for the challenge of playing against Brazil.  It is good for the team, the players and whole team," Igesund concluded.
