Hugo Broos extends stay as Bafana Bafana coach
Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos extended his stay as coach of the national team by at least one more match after guiding his side to a 1-0 win over South Korea in their final Group A match in Monterrey on Wednesday.
In doing so, the 74-year-old Belgian mentor became the most-capped coach in South Africa’s history

Stepping down after FIFA World Cup 2026
Hugo Broos has already confirmed that he intends to step down after the World Cup.
He moved to 59 matches in charge, surpassing the now old ‘record’ of 58 matches of Shakes Mashaba.
Broos has enjoyed a remarkable spell with the national team since taking over in May 2021.
In his 59 matches at the helm to date, Broos has guided South Africa to 27 wins, 23 draws and just nine defeats, with Bafana Bafana scoring 83 goals and conceding 48.
That gives Broos a win-percentage of 45.8%.

Longest spell in charge
His tenure is already the longest in Bafana Bafana history, eclipsing the previous record held by the late Clive Barker.
Given South Africa’s history of frequent coaching changes, few would have predicted that a coach would remain in the position for five years.
Hugo Broos’ current spell with Bafana Bafana is also the second-longest managerial stint of his coaching career, behind the six seasons he spent in charge of Belgian giants Club Brugge between 1991 and 1997.
Loss and a draw
Bafana Bafana opened their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign against co-hosts Mexico, losing 2-0 in Mexico City on 11 June.
They then held Czech Republic to a 1-1 draw a week later.
Hugo Broos will now have the chance to extend his record and cap off his Bafana Bafana career when South Africa take on co-hosts Canada in the Round of 32.
That match will take place on Sunday, 28 June at 21:00 (SA time) at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California.

Coupe du Monde 2026 : L’Afrique du Sud s’offre la Corée du Sud et un ticket historique pour les 16es
Pour la première fois de son histoire, l’Afrique du Sud verra les phases à élimination directe d’une Coupe du monde. Vainqueurs de la Corée du Sud (1-0) à Monterrey, les Bafana Bafana ont validé leur qualification et terminé à la deuxième place du groupe A.
Longtemps indécise, la rencontre aurait pu basculer très tôt en faveur des Sud-Coréens, dangereux dès les premières minutes sur une tête de Kim Min-jae repoussée sur la ligne. Mais au fil du match, l’Afrique du Sud a gagné en confiance et s’est montrée la plus entreprenante, multipliant les occasions sans parvenir à faire la différence avant la pause.
Le déclic est intervenu en seconde période. Entré en jeu quelques instants plus tôt, Moremi a fait parler sa vitesse sur son aile avant d’adresser un centre parfait pour Maseko, qui a conclu avec sang-froid à la 63e minute.
Malgré une fin de match plus animée et quelques tentatives sud-coréennes, les hommes d’Hugo Broos ont tenu bon jusqu’au coup de sifflet final. Avec quatre points, ils décrochent un rendez-vous avec le Canada en seizièmes de finale, dimanche à Los Angeles. La Corée du Sud, elle, devra attendre pour savoir si elle figure parmi les meilleurs troisièmes.

Bafana reach World Cup last 32: Opponents, date, kickoff time confirmed
South Africa has made history by reaching the knockout phase of the FIFA World Cup for the first time ever. Here’s who Bafana Bafana face and all the details.
Bafana Bafana roar into the World Cup knockouts and the history books
Bafana Bafana produced a performance for the ages to nullify a talented South Korea side and claim a 1-0 win, which will reverberate around the world. They’ve reached the knockout phase of a men’s FIFA World Cup for the first time. Winning was South Africa’s only chance of progress, and they did just that in a raucous Estadio Monterrey, where the atmosphere was enhanced with news of Mexico’s goals in a 3-0 win over Czechia trickling through.
Hugo Broos’ side produced a defensive masterclass, dealing with whatever South Korea threw at them and then repeatedly looking dangerous on the counter. Thapelo Maseko was the match-winner with a 63rd-minute strike. In truth, the Sundowns man could have had a hat-trick. Orlando Pirates star Relebohile Mofokeng caught the eye with his quick thinking, decision-making, penetrative passing and direct running. Maseko’s role as an inverted winger on the right side proved to be a constant thorn in the side of the Mexicans.
Who will South Africa face in the World Cup round of 32?
South Africa’s draw looks pretty favourable on paper. They meet Canada on Sunday, 28 June at 21:00 SA time. Pertinently, the match will be in Los Angeles, USA and not in Canada.
Bafana Bafana Write Their Names in the Stars: A Historic 1-0 Victory Over South Korea
GUADALUPE, MEXICO — The long wait is finally over. Decades of hope, heartbreak, and unwavering belief culminated under the Mexican night sky as Bafana Bafana secured a monumental 1-0 victory against South Korea, punching their ticket to the FIFA World Cup
knockout stages for the very first time.
After the fiery awakening in Mexico City and the heroic rescue mission in Atlanta, this was the defining moment. Ninety minutes separated South Africa from an early exit and football immortality. In a performance defined by tactical discipline and a heartbeat that echoed across a nation, they chose immortality.
The Magic Minute
The breakthrough arrived in the 63rd minute. After soaking up immense pressure from a possession-heavy South Korean side, Hugo Broos’s men found their opening. Tshepang Moremi, injected into the match with immediate purpose, orchestrated a brilliant defence-splitting pass. Thapelo Maseko, clinical and composed, shifted the ball onto his left foot and buried it into the bottom right-hand corner.
The net rippled, and a nation roared.
A Wall of Yellow
The final statistics paint a picture of South Korean dominance in possession, but football is measured in resilience as much as rhythm. South Africa faced relentless pressure, but crucially, restricted the Taegeuk Warriors to just three attempts on goal despite South Korea hoarding 68.4% of the ball. The defensive block, anchored with immense heart, refused to break during an agonizingly tense final ten minutes and a gruelling six minutes of extra time, leaving South Korea looking bereft of inspiration in the final third.
A deeply emotional Coach Hugo Broos confirmed his profound pride in the dressing room afterward. Reflecting on the tactical perfection of his squad, he noted that the triumph was the ultimate reward for five years of relentless hard work, culminating in a performance that will forever be etched into South African sporting lore.
With this crucial win, Bafana Bafana finishes second in Group A with four points, setting up a tantalizing Round of 32 clash with Canada in Los Angeles. For South Korea, the agonizing wait begins to see if their journey continues as one of the best third-placed sides.
