As reported by the Sunday World, SABC CEO Madoda Mxakwe: "The acquisition of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 broadcast rights has always been a strategic decision for the SABC. The FIFA World Cup creates various marketing opportunities for SABC Sport and other SABC sub-brands, and we will optimally use this event to create a sense of euphoria for South Africans everywhere."
The matches will be spread across all the television channels as well as radio stations. It was also confirmed that the SABC will show the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup that will be co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand. Banyana Banyana at least qualified for that event - their second appearance - after winning the 2022 Africa Women Cup of Nations in Morocco.
Less than 1 000 people were present to watch South Africa defeat Botswana 1-0 at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg on Tuesday night. Even fewer fans pitched up for their encounter against Sierra Leone last Saturday, when Bafana won 4-0. Sports Brief reported on Monday how an image on social media showed the embarrassing disparity between attendances for the latter game and that of the Rugby Championship clash between the Springboks and Argentina that afternoon.
