World Cup Overview

Themba Zwane, Bafana Bafana

Mofokeng, Mbule or Adams to keep out Zwane from Bafana? - 'It will be very difficult for Mshishi'

The veteran midfielder remains one player the South Africa national football team could need at the global football tournament if he rediscovers his authority in the middle of the park. Currently used sparingly by Masandawana, he has yet to reach the top form that made him a dominant force in midfield. That has created anticipation over whether he can rise again and reclaim the midfield-king status he once enjoyed.

Iran hit back at Donald Trump over World Cup withdrawal row

The Iranian football federation has issued a defiant response to Donald Trump after the United States president suggested their presence at the 2026 World Cup would be "inappropriate" for their own safety. Tensions have reached a breaking point following the commencement of military strikes in the region, leaving Team Melli’s participation in the upcoming tournament on American soil unlikely.

Kekana prioritises Sundowns over national duty - ‘My primary focus is Mamelodi Sundowns’

The Masandawana defender has insisted that his omission from the Bafana squad in their past few camps is not a concern for him as he focuses on helping his club achieve its targets. The defender has developed into one of the most reliable figures in Miguel Cardoso’s set-up this season, battling back from an injury-hit spell to re-establish himself at the core of Sundowns’ defensive unit.

Uruguay have produced a glittering array of striking talent over the years, including Luis Suarez, Diego Forlan and Edinson Cavani. However, it's Oscar Míguez, who played for La Celeste during the 1950 and 1954 tournaments, scoring eight times, who tops the nation's World Cup finals scoring charts. A more modern-day star, in the shape of Fernando Muslera, holds the no.1 spot in the all-time World Cup appearances for Uruguay though, having played 16 times during three tournaments (2010, 2014 and 2018).
