The 259th edition of iDiski Times is out now — and as the FIFA World Cup kicks off in North America, we bring you features, exclusive interviews, and powerful voices from across the football world.
To get us going, Lorenz Köhler brings us an interview with someone who must be knocking on the national team’s door, Lebone Seema, who enjoyed an incredible first season at Orlando Pirates, winning the Betway Premiership, Carling Knockout and MTN8!
With Bafana Bafana kicking off against hosts Mexico in the opening game of the FIFA World Cup, Matshelane Mamabolo looks back at Bafana’s past at World Cups, and caught up with two former Bafana players who were at finals, Maimane Phiri and Andre Arendse, to talk about this generation’s prospects.
Mexico, Czechia and South Korea are the three nations in Bafana Bafana’s FIFA World Cup group, and David Kappel gives us insight into the three teams standing between Hugo Broos’ team and the knockout stages
While this is Bafana Bafana’s first World Cup in 16 years, Banyana Banyana have been to the last two Women’s World Cups, and Lethabo Kganyago spoke to Dr Desiree Ellis and Thembi Kgatlana, as they prepare for the upcoming WAFCON, where they hope to make it three World Cup qualifications in a row.
In this week’s iDiski’s Top Ten, we look at the ten team who the pundits are saying are the overall favourites for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
All that, plus the latest whispers from the Rumour Mill, and in the World & South Africa, we look at Terror Fanteni, and his journey from Paarl to Israel.
