South African midfielder Jayden Adams has died at the age of 25.
The South African Football Players Union (SAFPU) confirmed the tragic news in a statement, expressing shock over his passing.
The union said it was “devastated by the untimely passing” of the talented midfielder.
Adams represented Bafana Bafana and featured in three of the team’s matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign. Further details surrounding his death have not yet been made public.
Adams’ mentor, Brendine Johnson, has broken his silence following the midfielder’s sudden passing, describing the moment as a devastating shock for the family.
Johnson said the family is still struggling to process the loss and has asked for privacy during this difficult time.
“He was really positive about returning after the World Cup and being able to continue, knowing what lies ahead. He was prepared. He loved spending his time at home with his family.”
“Nobody expected this. At this moment, I don’t even have words to say, but we ask that the family’s privacy be respected.”
