South Africa Football Association president Danny Jordaan believes it is unfair to compare the Bafana Bafana to Ghana and Morocco.
The Black Stars and the Atlas Lions are two of five countries that represented Africa at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar while South Africa missed out.
Ghana exited the competition at the Group stage while Morocco made history as the first side from the continent to reach the semi-finals.
However, Danny highlighted the importance of putting South Africa’s absence in its proper context.
“We must not equate a team that has 90% of their players coming from Europe and becoming citizens in order to be in the team,” Jordaan said as quoted by sabcsport.com.
“How’s it possible that one [Inaki] Williams is playing for Ghana, and his brother, another [Nico] Williams, is playing for Spain?
“Our focus is, we must not be distracted by that. Fundamentally, our position is [that] we must produce world-class players that can compete with the best in the world.”
