South Africa news

With Hugo Broos' planned departure from the South Africa national team now drawing closer, attention has increasingly turned to who could succeed the Belgian, with the former Golden Arrows coach expected to be among the frontrunners despite only recently taking charge of the East African outfit. However, he has remained unfazed by the speculation and instead backed another candidate to take charge.

The World Cup has a remarkable ability to completely alter the course of careers. There is no grander stage in the game, meaning impressive performances garner the kind of acclaim and attention that is simply not possible in any other arena. Consequently, the transfer market tends to go wild in and around World Cups, as clubs scramble to snap up previously hidden gems or suddenly established stars.

The South African football community is in a state of deep mourning following the tragic news that the 25-year-old midfielder has died. The rising star had only recently returned from representing his country on the global stage at the 2026 FIFA World Cup and was due to depart for his club's European pre-season tour on Saturday.

Masandawana has made a definitive decision regarding the future of one of their stars as the 2026/27 campaign approaches. The South Africa international has completed a move to Stellenbosch FC on a season-long loan, bringing an end to the speculation surrounding his role in the Pretoria club's squad.

The representative of the 26-year-old has delivered a definitive blow to Amakhosi's hopes of landing the highly-rated winger. Despite constant speculation linking the former Sekhukhune United man with a return to the PSL, it appears his future lies much further north or back in the Middle East.

The exclusion of Mamelodi Sundowns captain from the PSL Goalkeeper of the Season nominees has sparked a heated debate across the country’s football community. Former South Africa goalkeeping coach Alex Heredia has led the calls of disbelief, labelling the decision to leave out the national team’s number one as completely nonsensical.

The South Africa coach has spoken with Belgian media and confirmed that his record-breaking tenure as the team’s boss has come to an end following the conclusion of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. But the 74-year-old did, once again, express his hope that he could still be involved in some sort of part time capacity with the national team.

The veteran playmaker has been advised to call time on his international career following a disappointing end to his 2026 World Cup journey after he saw his tournament cut short by a red card and a subsequent three-match FIFA ban. The global tournament came shortly after his CAF Champions League winning club had announced a one year contract extension for the 36-year-old.

Former SuperSport United winger is a man in demand following his historic exploits for Bafana Bafana on the world stage. Despite a lack of regular minutes at Chloorkop, the 22-year-old’s stock has never been higher after helping South Africa break new ground at the FIFA World Cup.

The 21-year-old star has finally opened up about the timeline of his high-profile exit from the Buccaneers, confirming that his future was decided long before it became public knowledge. The Bafana Bafana sensation is preparing for a new life in Belgium after a whirlwind season that saw him become one of the most sought-after talents in African football.
