South African Premier News
South Africa fans, spoken to by ESPN over the course of the South African Premiership season, have unanimously backed Hugo Broos as the right man to lead the team at the FIFA World Cup, putting aside club biases.
Cross began his career as a centre-back, so he adds cover in that position, where he has occasionally featured even in recent times for Chiefs. His ease on the ball ensures that wherever he plays, he can be an asset.
Hugo Broos' squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the USA was revealed on Wednesday, with Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Brandon Petersen missing out but Mamelodi Sundowns striker Iqraam Rayners included.
Hugo Broos is famously, or notoriously, stubborn in his team selection for Bafana Bafana, but his selection of Mamelodi Sundowns striker Iqraam Rayners showed that the Belgian mentor is capable of compromise.
Leonard Solms speaks about Relebohile Mofokeng after South Africa's squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup was announced.
