# Soccer: The death of Bafana Bafana and Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Jayden Adams has renewed calls for greater awareness of mental health in sport. Adams passed away last weekend and has endured the loss of his grandmother during the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2023 death of former Stellenbosch teammate and close friend Oshwin Andries. England star Jude Bellingham, and Burnley striker Lyle Foster have all encouraged men to seek help and speak openly about their struggles, stressing that asking for support is a sign of strength.
