The South African National Soccer Team has come a long way, from isolation to a triumphant moment in 1996. South Africa is again back on the global stage. The national team will represent the country during the FIFA World Cup in America next year (2026).

The journey starts this month with the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco as part of their preparations.

Today, SABC is launching a campaign to support the team ahead of the AFCON.
Our specialist correspondent, Sophie Mokoena, takes us down memory lane.
