Visa Issues Delay Bafana Bafana’s 2026 World Cup Build-Up
South Africa’s national team has postponed its departure for the 2026 World Cup in Mexico after most players and staff are still waiting on visas. Only head coach Hugo Broos has received clearance ahead of their scheduled June 11 opener against hosts Mexico. The delay threatens a planned 10-day high-altitude training camp and could disrupt a warm-up friendly against Jamaica. Supporters have taken to social media to express frustration, with many blaming team manager Vincent Tseka for the last-minute oversight. With less than two weeks before their opening match, Bafana Bafana will be hoping the visa snag is resolved quickly so they can focus fully on tournament preparations.
