Hundrends of fans gathered to watch the opening 2026 Fifa World Cup match in Johannesburg South Africa, on Thursday evening.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is underway, and co-host Mexico opened the tournament with a 2-0 win over South Africa.
Many fans of the South African team, nicknames the Bafana Bafana, were vocal of their disappointment after the team’s loss.
Relebogile Lairi, a supporter watching the game, said that the team had to do better, adding that she believed they may have experienced “stage fright”.
Many Bafana Bafana fans were not happy with the manager Hugo Broos’ starting lineup, and criticized his defensive approach to the game.
Hope Ntswane, a supporter of the team, even called for Broos to be let go from the team.
“Actually for me, I wish Hugo Broos should go because this is the World Cup and for the World Cup we have to go all out,” Ntswane said.
