Oswin Appollis is one of the most exciting wide forwards South Africa has produced in years — a direct, rapid attacker who tormented opponents during Bafana Bafana's 2023 AFCON campaign and announced himself to a continental audience. At Orlando Pirates he operates on the flank with pace and directness, capable of beating defenders in tight spaces and delivering end product. His performances at AFCON 2023, where South Africa reached the semi-finals, earned him widespread recognition. Still only 24 and playing regularly for one of the PSL's biggest clubs, Appollis is central to South Africa's attacking ambitions at the 2026 World Cup.
