Football in mourning/ He was the protagonist of the World Cup matches, the South

South African football has been shocked by the news of the death of midfielder Jayden Adams, aged just 25. The news was reported by sports media outlet Soccer Laduma, which said the player's representatives and guardian have confirmed the incident.

"Details surrounding Adams' death remain unclear. Our team has spoken to the player's representatives and his guardian, who confirmed the tragic news," writes Soccer Laduma.

If the news is officially confirmed by the authorities or the club, Adams' death comes just days after he was one of the protagonists of the South African national team at the World Cup, helping the team become the first national team from the country to reach the knockout stage of the tournament.

His mentor, Brendine Johnson, confirmed the news to Soccer Laduma, asking that the family's privacy be respected.

"At this point everything is still very fresh. The family does not want to be contacted. This loss has shocked us all. I had spoken to him on Thursday and he was very optimistic about returning after the World Cup. Nobody expected this," Johnson said.

The news is made even more poignant after Adams suffered another personal tragedy during the World Cup. According to former South Africa captain Doctor Khumalo, the midfielder learned of his grandmother's death just hours before the team's group stage match against the Czech Republic on June 18 in Atlanta.

Despite the pain, he decided to play, helping South Africa secure a 1-1 draw, a result that kept hopes of qualification alive.

The national team then achieved a historic victory over South Korea, finishing second in Group A and securing a spot in the knockout stage of the World Cup for the first time, where they would face Canada.

Doctor Khumalo praised Adams as a footballer of exceptional professionalism, who continued to give his best on the field even under extremely difficult personal circumstances.

So far, the causes of the 25-year-old's death have not been made public, while an official reaction is expected from his club, Mamelodi Sundowns, and the South African Football Association.
