You still have the chance to go to the World Cup and support Bafana Bafana.
The Department of Sport, Arts and Culture (DSAC) has announced an extension of the Mzansi to the World Cup Lucky Fan Competition.
The extension was confirmed on Friday, 01 May 2026, after some fans reported experiencing technical difficulties when trying to upload their video entries during the original competition window, which ran from Wednesday, 29 April to Friday, 1 May 2026.
Sports Minister Gayton McKenzie has directed that the competition be reopened to ensure every passionate South African fan has a fair and equal opportunity to enter.
The extended entry window opens at 08:00 on Saturday, 2 May 2026, and closes at 17:00 on Sunday, 3 May 2026.
This initiative will see twenty ordinary South Africans win an all-expenses-paid trip to watch Bafana Bafana in their group-stage matches in North America.
Winners are reminded that domestic flights to the departure airport, a Mexican tourist visa, travel insurance, bank statements for visa purposes, and personal spending money are not included in the prize package and remain the winner’s own responsibility
