4 December 2025 – A South African Football Association (SAFA) delegation led by President Dr Danny Jordaan will attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup Draw in Washington DC in the United States of America this week.

The global tournament will be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico from 11 June – 19 July 2026. The World Cup draw will take place on Friday, 5 December 2025 at the John F. Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts at 12h00 local time (19h00 South Africa time). FIFA announced that the event will be co-hosted by Heidi Klum, Kevin Hart and Danny Ramirez and will reveal the group-stage paths for Bafana Bafana and the other men’s national teams that will eventually be confirmed for the tournament following the playoffs to be played in March 2026.

Dr Jordaan will be accompanied by Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos, team manager Vincent Tseka, SAFA commercial & marketing manager Errol Madlala, SAFA travel & procurement manager Veronica Mokoena, and communications manager Mninawa Ntloko.

Besides the actual draw itself, FIFA has arranged a series of team seminars that will cover ticketing, hospitality, guest operations, team services and logistics, communications, event promotion, fan engagement, safety and security, among others.

Coaches will also have their own sessions, and Broos will represent Bafana Bafana, who qualified for the tournament after beating Rwanda in October 2025. Individual meetings will also be held to conclude plans around venue inspections after the draw has been completed.

South African Football: Bafana Bafana is a symbol of national pride and unity in post-apartheid South Africa.
