World Cup History

South Africa is the only African country to have hosted the World Cup (2010), a tournament remembered for vuvuzelas and historic atmosphere. Now Bafana Bafana return to the global stage as a competitive participant rather than hosts.

The South African squad is built around a blend of PSL talent and European-based players. Organised defence and quick transitions define their style. The 2026 World Cup is a chance to prove that South African football has grown far beyond its 2010 debut.
