FIFA World Cup | Bafana Bafana play Mexico on Thursday

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is upon us. Bafana Bafana are winless in their last five matches, and that is concerning as the tournament kicks off in Mexico on Thursday. Bafana Bafana fans are feeling nervous, uncertain and skeptical with just three days before the opening match against co-hosts, Mexico. The match against Mexico is the repeat of the opening encounter of the first World Cup event on the African soil 16 years ago. SABC News has some footprint in Mexico already and we now cross live to my colleague Sakina Kamwendo in Pachuca where Bafana Bafana are based.
