This is South Africa’s 2010 home shirt by adidas, worn by Bafana Bafana as host nation of the FIFA World Cup. Few shirts are as closely tied to a single tournament moment as this one, with Siphiwe Tshabalala’s name and number 8 forever linked to the opening goal of the 2010 World Cup against Mexico.
The shirt features South Africa’s classic yellow base with green detailing across the shoulders, sleeves and side panels. Adidas added a distinctive patterned collar inspired by South African visual identity, while the subtle tonal graphics across the front give the shirt more depth without taking away from its clean national-team look.
The SAFA crest sits on the chest alongside the adidas logo, while the official 2010 FIFA World Cup sleeve patch gives the shirt direct tournament context. The Climacool fabric and ventilated side panels reflect adidas’ performance construction from the era, designed for breathability during high-intensity match play.
Tshabalala #8 makes this version especially iconic. His left-footed strike in the opening match at Soccer City became one of the defining images of the tournament and remains one of the most celebrated goals in World Cup history. For South Africa, it was more than a goal — it was the emotional start of the first World Cup ever hosted on African soil.
For collectors, this is one of the standout shirts from 2010. The combination of host nation status, tournament patch and Tshabalala nameset makes it a piece loaded with football history, national pride and one unforgettable World Cup moment.
