26 October 2026 – The South African U15 Boys National team bounced back from a defeat to register an emphatic 13-1 victory against Anguilla on Sunday evening in their third match of the inaugural FIFA U15 Boys World Cup and Festival in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Hattricks from Tshiamo Mashishi and Camdem Schaper – the first time any South African had scored three goals in a World Cup at any level – as well braces from Katlego Mokhabuki and Lesedi Hlalele saw Head Coach Selekedi Mogale’s charges romp home with a big win. Neo Dhlamini, Bohlale Finger and Keanu Moses netted one goal each.

In three outings, the South Africans scored 22 goals – the highest in the group – and conceded only three, with two fixtures still remaining in the group stages.

They lie third in Group A with six points, just one behind log leaders France and the second-placed Estonia.

South Africa will the face the latter two countries on Monday to complete the round robin stage.

They take on Estonia in the morning at 09h30 followed by the clash against France in the afternoon – with both matches likely to determine who the group winners will be.

Earlier in the day South Africa lost 2-1 to Kosovo who are currently lying fourth, and have six points.

After three matches, The Maldives and Anguilla are yet to shake the points column.
