Edit Info

The South African national football team, popularly known as Bafana Bafana or The Boys, is governed by the South African Football Association. The team started playing internationally in 1992 after a long break, as it was banned from international football because of apartheid. After its comeback in 1992, South Africa has participated in 4 World Cup events and 8 African Cup tournaments. In 2010 South Africa will become the first African country to host the World Cup. As a result of being the host country, South Africa has automatically been qualified for the 2010 World Cup.
