Today marks deadline for World Cup Fan Competition entries

# Sport, Arts and Culture minister Gayton McKenzie has urged South Africans to submit entries for the Mzansi to the World Cup Lucky Fan Competition before the 5pm deadline today. Twenty winners will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Mexico to watch Bafana Bafana’s 2026 World Cup opener. McKenzie stressed that a valid passport is mandatory, with winners expected to begin visa applications immediately after Tuesday’s announcement. Winners are reminded that a Mexican tourist visa, travel insurance, bank statements for visa purposes, and personal spending money remain the winner’s own responsibility.
