The opening match is a repeat of the FIFA World Cup 2010 opening match between these two nations.

The soccer fans all over the country are expected to wear Bafana Bafana colours, yellow and green, on June 11. Everything will come to a standstill with a great atmosphere and unforgettable moments.

This is a repeat of the FIFA World Cup 2010 opening match between these two nations. They played to an exciting 1-all draw at the packed FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, with Siphiwe Tshabalala’s brilliant strike sending millions of South Africans into a frenzy of celebration.

Will history repeat itself?

This was before Mexico leveled the score to make the final score 1-1. However, the question that many soccer fans ask themselves is:

“Will history repeat itself, or will South Africa walk away with a victory this time around?”

Sedibeng Ster Sport will bring all the FIFA World Cup 2026 updates, as well as interviews with former Bafana Bafana players such as Aaron Mokoena and Augustine Makalakalane, among others.
