20 June 2026 – Bafana Bafana returned to their 2026 FIFA World Cup base camp in Pachuca, Mexico, on Friday and immediately hit the training fields at Universidad del Futbol.
The South African senior men’s national team got down to business soon after arrival following the 1-1 draw with Czechia at Atlanta Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, United States of America, in a World Cup Group A match played on Thursday.
Coach Hugo Broos’ charges are now fully focused on the decisive final Group A showdown against South Korea at the Estadio Monterrey, Guadalupe. The South Africans will spend the next few days in Pachuca and then travel to Monterrey for the final group match.
Bafana Bafana will be without Themba Zwane and Teboho Mokoena, who are both serving suspensions. Zwane is serving a three-match suspension he was handed by the FIFA disciplinary committee following the red card he received in the tournament opening game against Mexico last week.
Sphephelo Sithole also received a red card in the same match against Mexico but is available for selection against South Korea after serving his one-match suspension. Mokoena is suspended for the game against South Korea after picking up a second yellow card in Atlanta on Thursday.
