As anticipation builds for the FIFA World Cup 2026, McDonald’s South Africa is launching a nationwide campaign aimed at bringing fans closer to the action. The initiative combines exclusive collectibles, family-focused experiences and community-driven celebrations designed to capture the spirit of the world’s biggest football tournament.
The campaign seeks to unite South Africans through a shared love of football while creating memorable moments for customers both in-store and at home.
Exclusive FIFA World Cup meal arrives
At the centre of the campaign is the limited-time McDonald’s FIFA World Cup Meal. Customers who purchase selected meal options will receive an exclusive FIFA Collectible Cup as part of their order.
The collection includes six Soccer Legend Cups featuring football icons and fan-favourite characters. The limited-edition range is designed to give supporters a unique keepsake to commemorate the tournament while celebrating some of football’s most recognisable names.
Collectibles for the whole family
The excitement extends beyond adult fans. Every Happy Meal will include one of 12 collectible Squishmallows, allowing younger football supporters to join in the celebrations.
By combining FIFA-themed collectibles with family-friendly offerings, McDonald’s aims to create an inclusive experience that appeals to customers of all ages throughout the tournament.

Further details on participating restaurants and event schedules will be shared through McDonald’s South Africa’s social media channels.
Rallying behind South Africa
A key element of the campaign is the “Sing Proud” initiative, which encourages South Africans to unite behind the national team by proudly singing the national anthem.
Through exclusive merchandise, community events and football-inspired experiences, McDonald’s South Africa is positioning itself at the heart of the FIFA World Cup 2026 celebrations, giving fans new ways to connect with the beautiful game and support the nation’s football journey.
