South Africa's defeat marks World Cup farewell for coach Broos
Soccer Football - FIFA World Cup 2026 - Round of 32 - South Africa v Canada - Los Angeles Stadium, Inglewood, California, U.S. - June 28, 2026 South Africa coach Hugo Broos and Oswin Appollis look dejected after the match.
South Africa coach Hugo Broos said his side's 1-0 loss to Canada would be his final act at a World Cup, potentially bringing down the curtain on a career spanning more than five decades as both a player and manager.
The defeat in Los Angeles, settled by a 92nd-minute strike from Canada's Stephen Eustaquio, ended a run that had already delivered a landmark achievement for Broos and his side, reaching the knockout stage for the first time in South Africa’s history.
