The South African team was finally able to solve its documentation problems to process the visas that will allow them to travel to Mexico and the United States, where they will participate in the 2026 World Cup in the first phase within group A, facing precisely the Mexicans, South Koreans and Czechs.

The information was confirmed by Gayton McKenzie, Minister of Sports of South Africa, in a message published on his official account on the social network

through a publication on his X account. The official explained that the process is practically concluded, although the immigration procedures of a technical assistant, a performance analyst, a member of the security team and a member of the medical staff are still pending.

With this, the “Bafana Bafana” will be able to continue with their planning without major setbacks and focus fully on their preparation for the World Cup, where they will be one of the protagonists of the opening match against Mexico.

McKenzie confirmed through his X account that all members of “Bafana Bafana” already have the necessary documentation to travel to Mexico.

In the hours prior to this announcement, it had been reported that they were having many conflicts to obtain the necessary visa to enter both countries where they will have to face Mexico, South Korea and the Czech Republic.

South Africa's immigration problems were more due to the failure to provide correct documentation and when they obtained the original papers, there were many rumors regarding their presence at the World Cup.
