SACCUSA President Neil Diamond was honored to stand alongside civil rights icon and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Andrew Young, in support of Bafana Bafana as South Africa prepares to take on Czechia in Atlanta during the FIFA World Cup 2026.

This moment symbolizes the enduring friendship between South Africa and the United States and the unity of communities brought together through sport. From Atlanta to Johannesburg, South Africans and friends of South Africa are rallying behind our national team with pride and passion.

The entire South African diaspora community across the United States stands firmly behind Bafana Bafana as they represent our nation on the world stage. We wish our players every success and know they will carry the hopes and spirit of South Africans everywhere.

Atlanta is ready. The diaspora is ready. South Africa is ready.
