South Africa midfielder Jayden Adams has died at the age of 25.
The sad news was confirmed by the South African Football
Players Union, SAFPU.
SAFPU said it was “devastated by the untimely passing” of
the midfielder.
Adams played in three of Bafana Bafana’s matches at the 2026
World Cup.
Adams’ mentor, Brendine Johnson, has broken his silence
following the midfielder’s sudden passing, describing the moment as a
devastating shock for the family.
Johnson said the family is still struggling to process the
loss and has asked for privacy during this difficult time.
“He was really positive about returning after the World Cup
and being able to continue, knowing what lies ahead. He was prepared. He loved
spending his time at home with his family.”
“Nobody expected this. At this moment, I don’t even have
words to say, but we ask that the family’s privacy be respected.”
