Despite a heatwave with a real-feel temperature nearing 40°C (104°F), the South African team appeared accustomed to the heat, with some players even wearing long-sleeved uniforms for their final training session.

Before starting training, the entire squad prayed together, solidifying their resolve to win against South Korea.

The 74-year-old veteran head coach Broos, who previously said he knew nothing about South Korean football,

now expresses confidence, stating that his analysis is complete and he has identified clear weaknesses.

[Broos/South Africa National Football Team Head Coach: The analysis of South Korea is finished. First, we will neutralize South Korea's strengths, and we will also exploit their weaknesses. We know everything except for the result of tomorrow's match.]

South Africa has never advanced past the group stage in its history, currently sits at the bottom of the group with one draw and one loss, and will be without two key midfielders due to a red card and accumulated yellow cards. However, the players are burning with fighting spirit, as a victory against South Korea could secure them a spot in second place in the group.

For South Africa, dreaming of their first-ever group stage advancement, the only remaining scenario is victory.

The players are ready to give their all.
