Bafana Bafana will learn their final opponent of Group A in the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Tuesday, when the European Play-Off Final takes place.

Denmark will take on Czekhia in Prague at the epet ARENA in a once-off fixture that will determine the final spot in the group that contains Mexico, the hosts, South Africa and South Korea.

Bafana have already been confirmed the opening game – a replay of the iconic 2010 opener at FNB Stadium – which makes for a compelling group for the neutrals.

Denmark thrashed North Macedonia in the semi-finals while the Czech Republic ousted the Republic of Ireland 4-3 on penalties after the match finished 2-2 in regulation time.

Hugo Broos’ side have their second friendly fixture in preparation for the Mundial, against Panama, who they face at 19h30 on Tuesday at Cape Town Stadium – having played to a 1-1 draw in Durban on Friday.
