Football : le milieu sud-africain Jayden Adams retrouvé mort à 25 ans
South African football is in mourning. Jayden Adams, midfielder for Bafana Bafana and Mamelodi Sundowns, died on Saturday at the age of 25, just days after South Africa's elimination from the 2026 World Cup, according to local media. The news has been confirmed by his family.
The South African broadcaster eNCA was the first to announce the news on social media. Contacted by the media outlet Soccer Laduma, Brendine Johnson, described as the player's mentor, confirmed the death on behalf of the family, stating that "no one expected it." He also indicated that he had a final conversation with Adams on Thursday, during which the player said he was in a positive frame of mind after returning from the World Cup.
The circumstances of the death are still unclear.
No official cause of death has been released. Rumors suggest depression and possible suicide, but no official source has confirmed this at this stage. Neither Mamelodi Sundowns nor the South African Football Association (SAFA) have commented on the matter. The family has requested privacy during this time of mourning.
