The Department of Sport, Arts and Culture has announced the launch of the “Mzansi to the World Cup Lucky Fans Competition”, which will give ordinary fans a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the 2026 FIFA World Cup live.

Through this competition, 20 passionate South African supporters will be selected to travel to either the United States or Mexico to attend one of Bafana Bafana’s group-stage matches.

The Department says it forms part of its broader commitment to uniting the nation through sport, promoting national pride, and showcasing the energy and spirit of Mzansi on the global stage.

Fans from all sixteen (16) PSL clubs will have an opportunity to represent their teams, with four additional wildcard entries, to ensure that every South African supporter has a fair chance to participate, regardless of club affiliation.

To enter, members of the public are required to visit the official DSAC website, where they can access the submission link and competition details.

Participants must upload a 30-second video demonstrating their passion for football, their club loyalty, and why they deserve to represent South Africa at the World Cup.

Entries have opened today, 29 April, and close at 17h00 on 1 May 2026.

Winners will receive a fully sponsored travel package, including international flights, accommodation, match tickets, and ground transport.

The Minister and Deputy Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture will officially announce the winners on 5 May 2026 at 08h00.
