Player in focus (Cedric Bakambu):
Cedric Bakambu is recognized as one of the top African forwards. He previously represented France at the 2010 UEFA U19 European Championship and helped them win against Spain in the final, which is considered his most significant achievement in his international career.
Despite previously playing for French youth teams, Cedric Bakambu chose to play for the senior national team of DR Congo.

In terms of club play, Bakambu spent four years with Sochaux from 2010 to 2014 before transferring to Bursaspor on 1 September, 2014.
Bakambu joined Villarreal in La Liga on August 19, 2015 after scoring 13 goals in 27 games for a Turkish team. He has been playing for Villarreal, also known as the Yellow Submarine, since then. On August 23, 2015, Bakambu made his debut for Villarreal in a match against Real Betis, which ended in a 1-1 tie.
Highlighted group from South Africa:
The South Africa national football team, under the supervision of the South Africa Football Association, primarily competes at FNB Stadium, with a maximum capacity of 94,736 viewers. In 1998, the Bafana Bafana earned their first qualification for the FIFA World Cup, but were unable to progress past the group stage in the event held in France.
In 2002, South Africa took part in the FIFA World Cup held in Japan and South Korea. Unfortunately, they were eliminated in the group stages, repeating their previous experience. In 2010, South Africa was chosen as the host country for the FIFA World Cup, but even though they beat France in Group A, they were unable to advance to the last 16.
The Bafana Bafana performed admirably in securing the 1996 Africa Cup of Nations victory, defeating Tunisia in the championship match. South Africa’s inaugural international match took place against Argentina in 1906, resulting in a 1-0 defeat to the Albiceleste.
