Football Memories

After the World Cup Party, Reality Set In

Two years after the historic World Cup on home soil, South Africa entered a new era. 2012 became the year when the hope for a stable future for Bafana Bafana was to be proven on the pitch. The Puma jersey, with its distinctive green and yellow colours, became a symbol of the nation's continued love for the game – and the desire to return to international relevance.

Legends and New Names

South Africa had said goodbye to some of the big names from the 2010 World Cup, but new profiles like Siphiwe Tshabalala and Katlego Mphela tried to carry the torch. Tshabalala, who had scored the opening goal two years earlier, remained a fan favourite with his explosive energy and iconic hairstyles.

Towards the Africa Cup of Nations

The jersey was used in preparations for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations, which South Africa was again to host. While qualification and test matches alternated between success and disappointment, the team showed glimpses of quality – and the people once again rallied behind their beloved Bafana Bafana.

A Jersey with Rhythm and Colours

With its tight fit (69 cm long and 46 cm wide) and clear visual expression, this Puma jersey represents more than just sport. It is a piece of football culture, driven by rhythm, passion, and belief in something greater.

Do you still have the World Cup song in your ears and South Africa's colours in your heart? Then this jersey is for you.
