But perhaps glaringly FIFA will likely be ruling AGAINST Bafana Bafana wearing their own green shirts in any of their Group A matches.

It’s been said that football’s governing body will ‘whenever possible, FIFA aims to create a clear contrast between dark and light-coloured kits to improve visibility for players, officials, broadcasters and supporters, particularly those with colour-vision deficiencies.’
