About South Africa

The South Africa national football team’s standing within world football has been affected by the political climate in the country over the years. Apartheid within the nation meant that South Africa was effectively suspended from entering major competitions for decades, but eventually returned in the 1990s, entering the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in 1994. Two years later, they won their only major tournament, the 1996 AFCON, by defeating Tunisia 2-0 in the final thanks to two goals from Mark Williams. Their best finish after that was in 1998 when they finished as runners-up, and have not bettered this since. In 1998 they qualified for their first ever World Cup tournament in France, and although they did not make it out of the group stage, it will be remembered for Benni McCarthy scoring the nation’s first goal in the competition as they drew with Denmark. Four years later in Japan and South Korea they failed to progress to the knockout stage again, but did claim their first win at the tournament against Slovenia, with Siyabonga Nomvethe scoring in a 1-0 win. South Africa hosted the World Cup in 2010, but became the first host nation not to qualify from the group stage in the history of the competition. Aaron Mokoena has the most caps for his nation, while McCarthy has scored the most South African goals.
