South Africa delays World Cup trip on visa snarl

South Africa's football squad (Bafana Bafana) has been delayed from departing to their World Cup training camp in Mexico due to visa processing issues affecting at least 20 players and officials at the US embassy in Johannesburg. With their opening match against co-host Mexico on June 11, the logistical failure compresses an already tight preparation window and raises governance questions around SAFA's travel planning processes.
