South Africa's FIFA World Cup 2026 hopes get a boost as Aaron Mokoena advises captain Ronwen Williams to seize the spotlight and lead the team to victory. Williams has the credentials to lead the team with distinction, Mokoena said.
What is Mokoena's advice to Williams?
Mokoena told the Mamelodi Sundowns Magazine that Williams should enjoy the occasion but remember he is representing his family, teammates, country, and continent.
Why is Mokoena's experience relevant?
Mokoena captained South Africa at the 2010 FIFA World Cup and understands the immense pressure that comes with wearing the captain's armband.
How can Sundowns' dominance help South Africa?
The domestic dominance of Sundowns is a massive advantage for the national team, Mokoena believes, as it prepares players for the rigors of a World Cup.
What are the prospects for African teams in the World Cup?
Mokoena is optimistic about the continent's chances, saying the expanded format creates opportunity and belief, and another African nation can go even further than Morocco's semi-final finish in the last tournament.
