Only one fan had gone to wait for the "Bafana Bafana" outside their hotel. But the team did not hesitate to return the favor and showed a heartfelt gesture ahead of the tournament: all the players came over to sign the young man’s sticker album and gave him a national team jersey.

>In an orderly manner and visibly moved, the South African footballers signed the fan’s jersey one by one. The gesture went viral on social media within minutes, boosting international affection for the team managed by Hugo Broos.

Mexico’s opponent in the openerThis outpouring of warmth and human kindness comes at a crucial time for the African side.
