Several Kaizer Chiefs fans have professed their undying love for Mexico and boycotted Bafana ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Are they serious or trolling?
Kaizer Chiefs fans to boycott Bafana?
An alarming number of Chiefs supporters have indicated that they’ll support Mexico because of a lack of Glamour Boys in the national setup. 25-year-old left-back Bradley Cross is the only Chiefs representative in the 2026 World Cup squad. However, he’s likely to be a bit-part player under outgoing boss Hugo Broos.
‘We are Mexico, and Mexico is us’ is the sentiment pouring out of several chronically online Kaizer Chiefs fans. Whether they’re being 100% serious or it’s some tongue-in-cheek fun, it still points to a long-standing feud between the club and national team coach Hugo Broos. The real question is, how many Chiefs players actually warrant selection at this level?
Bafana’s World Cup return is around the corner
World Cup 2010 is something that none of us will ever forget. What a majestic experience. Turn to the person next to you right now and tell them where you were and how you felt when Kaizer Chiefs legend Siphiwe Tshabalala lashed Bafana Bafana into the lead against Mexico. The 2026 edition is exactly a week away, with Mexico vs Bafana Bafana kicking off the showpiece at the Estadio Azteca on 11 June at 21:00 CAT.
