SudáfricavsCorea del Sur

South Africa meet South Korea at Estadio BBVA on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, match 54 of the tournament and the final round of group fixtures, where the permutations get ruthless and every goal can swing a place in the Round of 32. Group A sends its top two through automatically, with the eight best third-placed teams across all twelve groups also advancing — so neither side can afford a flat ninety minutes.

Monterrey provides the stage — nicknamed "El Gigante de Acero" (the Steel Giant); the Cerro de la Silla ridge looms directly behind one stand. Kickoff is 19:00 stadium time (CST); fans of South Africa and South Korea can check the exact hour back home in the times panel below.
