South Africa World Cup history
South Africa's 2026 appearance is their fourth, and first since 2002 (they also hosted in 2010). They have never advanced past the group stage, and in 2010 became the first host nation ever eliminated in the first round, despite beating France 2-1.
What to know for 2026
- Won their CAF qualifying group ahead of Nigeria under experienced coach Hugo Broos.
- Captained by goalkeeper Ronwen Williams, with Premier League striker Lyle Foster leading the attack.
- Back at the World Cup after 24 years; reaching the knockout stage would be historic.
