The , or ''Bafana Bafana'', is the national team of
South Africa and is controlled by the
South African Football Association . It has recently returned to the world stage after years of being suspended and expelled from
FIFA .
South Africa was first suspended from FIFA in
1962 for the country's
Apartheid regime. They were re-admitted a year later, but after deciding to take an all-white team to the
1966 World Cup and an all-black team to the
1970 one, got suspended again in
1974 . In
1976 , after the
Soweto uprising, they got expelled from FIFA.
In
1991 , with apartheid no more, the new non-racial South African Football Association was formed. On
July 7 ,
1992 , the South African national team played their first game in decades, beating
Cameroon 1-0.
Since being re-admitted, South Africa made the
1998 and
2002 World Cups , but failed to get out of the first round each time. They did host and win the
1996 African Nations Cup and will host the
2010 World Cup , the first
African nation to do so.
