South African football has been rocked by the sudden passing of promising Bafana Bafana and Mamelodi Sundowns talent, Jayden Adams.

The midfielder who recently represented South Africa at the FIFA World Cup in the Americas, showcasing his talents on football's biggest stage, was just 25-years-old.

His passing was confirmed by the South African Football Association, but the cause of death has not yet been made public.
