Czechia vs South Africa: Full list of substitutes for FIFA World Cup 2026 clash

South Africa and Czechia both need a win to stay alive in the FIFA World Cup.

The stage is set for the FIFA World Cup 2026 Group A clash between South Africa and Czechia at the Atlanta Stadium in Georgia on Thursday, June 8. Both sides are keen on getting their first point of the 2026 campaign and, emphatically, a victory.

However, it is expected to be a thrilling clash, as both sides have different styles of play. South Africa had a forgettable outing when they faced Mexico last week at the Estadio Azteca. Bafana Bafana had only two shots on target with an xG of 0.07.

Hugo Broos’s men struggled to develop an attacking opportunity, and the defence failed drastically as Yaya Sithole and Themba Zwane also saw red cards. Meanwhile, Czechia broke the deadlock against South Korea, courtesy of Ladislav Krejci’s goal, which was assisted by Vladimir Coufal.

However, they conceded twice in the last 30 minutes of the game, during which the momentum of the whole game shifted to South Korea’s side. Despite the loss, Miroslav Koubek’s side gave a promising performance, which could also be seen as their intent in the remaining clashes.
