Same brand, same era — different teams
The 2002 South Africa away kit is a vibrant relic of a defining moment in African football history. Worn during the 2002 FIFA World Cup in South Korea and Japan, this striking yellow and green design captured the spirit of Bafana Bafana on the global stage. As South Africa aimed to build on their post-apartheid sporting resurgence, this Adidas-manufactured jersey became synonymous with high-stakes international competition. The tournament saw the squad display grit and flair, notably securing a thrilling 1-0 victory over Slovenia—the nation's first-ever World Cup win.

Featuring the iconic SAFA crest and the classic Adidas three-stripe aesthetic, this jersey is a must-have for collectors. It represents a golden era of South African talent, characterized by tactical discipline and immense national pride, making it a timeless piece of football heritage for any serious vintage kit enthusiast.
