@BafanaBafana And we have qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup!!!! Yeeeeeeessssssss!!!! Let that sink in!!!!! South Africa.
@ProteasMenCSA The epitome of being #Unshakable Bafana Bafana have booked their spot at the Fifa World Cup 2026 in the USA! A triumph of pride, passion and South African spirit. Congratulations gents, you’ve made the nation proud! #BafanaBafana
@Phillip_58186 Big ups to the boys and Hugo, as for Jordaan to tell us we must forget about what happens that is a no no. I think he must be the first to be dismissed I don’t think he’s taking SA to be serious, this is our feelings he’s at stake.
@Treasure_Knowa Should Bafana go to the World Cup without a Chiefs player, the chiefs of Atlanta would rise from their graves in protest.
@LawrenceBailey0 2025 has been an excellent year for South African sport: World Test Championship, Rugby Championship, Bafana Bafana qualifying for WC BEST SPORTING NATION ON THE PLANET. NO DNA JUST RSA!!!
@RealTshemedi The unity in that Bafana Bafana Camp is insane. Look at how they are so happy for Mdu.
@djthakhiee It’s Coach Broos he is a uniting coach no matter what people say outside when players go in there they are united and one thing.
@kay_mahapa If there’s one thing we should hold onto after Hugo Broos leaves, is the standard he has set. This should be the standard for every Bafana coach. We are a powerhouse on the African continent, these things should be bare minimums, especially with the expanded Afcon and World Cup.
