About this match
Czech Republic and South Africa have never faced each other at World Cups, and both nations have accumulated lengthy absences — the Czechs since 2006 and Bafana Bafana since 2010, when they were eliminated in the group stage as hosts. The Czech tradition, inherited from Czechoslovakia's two runner-up finishes (1934 and 1962), contrasts with South Africa's World Cup debut only in 1998.
