More than 8,000 Chileans gathered on Sunday at the Bicentennial Stadium in La Florida, Santiago, the capital, to exchange stickers from the FIFA World Cup 2026 album. It contains 980 stickers.
The biggest football competition on the planet is fast approaching. But just days before kickoff, the South African team still has some administrative issues to resolve.
At least 20 members of the South African delegation had not yet obtained their visas for the United States. As a result, the Bafana Bafana plane did not leave South Africa for Mexico on Sunday as scheduled.
It is finally on Monday, one day behind schedule, after all the players have received their visas to transit through the United States, that he will leave the tarmac, authorities have confirmed.
It was in this country that the South Africans were due to begin their training camp before the opening match against Mexico on June 11, so in 10 days.
South African authorities have demanded an explanation from the football federation.
