The South Africa legend has hit out at the exclusion of Brandon Petersen and Gift Links from the Bafana Bafana squad for the upcoming World Cup. The former Premier Soccer League coach believes that performance on the pitch should always outweigh personal preferences when selecting a national team for the global showpiece.

The Major Soccer League club has released a short 23-minute film featuring their two South African players' journeys from Mzansi to The Windy City. The movie arrives on the back of the news that the 20-year-old defender has received the most votes of any player for the 2026 MLS All-Star Game and will be the second South African, after Doctor Khumalo in 1996, to take the field in the game.

The national team captain says the South African camp is buzzing with anticipation as they prepare to reclaim their place on the world stage. In a poetic twist of fate, Bafana are set for a high-stakes showdown against co-hosts Mexico in the 2026 FIFA World Cup opener. The fixture is a nostalgic throwback to the 2010 curtain-raiser, once again pitting the two nations against each other in one of football's most iconic television slots.

Surprise Moriri has thrown his full weight behind Broos’ squad selection for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Despite the inevitable public debate following the announcement of the final roster, the former Mamelodi Sundowns star believes the Belgian tactician has prioritised the right elements for success on the world stage.
