You must be wondering if this is a trick question. It is not; it is just an open-ended question. Sports fans and those who wager on Betway online sports betting know that SA has won several world cups.
The good question would be which world cups SA has won. Let’s take a look at the world cups SA has won.
Rugby World Cup
Rugby world cup is one of the most followed tournaments on the earth. It followed by nations’ diehard fans and punters on online casinos like Betway and others.
The 2019 Rugby World Cup was the ninth edition of the tournament. There have been only four different winners of the competition. SA and New Zealand are the most prosperous nations. They have each won the championship three times.
Australia and England have also been champions of the rugby world cup. Australia has won it twice while England has won it once.
The first time the Springboks won the tournament was in 1995. They emerged winners after beating the All Blacks of New Zealand 15-12. In that year, SA was the host of the event. It was a significant year for SA, for it was the year they were admitted back to the tournament by IRFB.
In 2007, SA lifted the rugby world cup again. This time around, they beat England, who were the defending champions 15-6 in a tightly contested match.
SA is the current cup holders of the rugby world cup after beating England in 2019’s final 32-12. They were clinical (not sure if this is the right word?) enough to see off England in the finals.
FIFA World Cup
SA has never won the men’s FIFA world cup. They had the best chance when they hosted the 19th edition of the tournament. From June 11th to July 11th in 2010, all eyes were on SA.
Spain won the tournament for the first time to become the eighth nation to win the cup.
Despite being the hosts, SA managed one win against France, a draw with Mexico, and lost to Uruguay. They gave a spirited performance in front of their fans, but it was not their time to lift the cup yet.
Cricket World Cup
SA has been a strong competitor when it comes to the Cricket World Cup. They have taken part in 8 of these world cups. In all those attempts, none has been successful. They have come close four times. N (And? ANd each of these?) these four times, they lost in the semi-final.
They have also reached the quarter-finals of the game twice and have bid the tournament goodbye at the group knockouts twice. Despite giving a spirited fight, this trophy has eluded them over the years.
In conclusion, if you are a punter at Betway, you should consider betting on SA winning the next rugby world cup. According to the above, it seems that this is is the only tournament that the country has realistic chances of winning. The other sports are still work in progress.
In the future, SA being one of the sports giants in Africa should be competing at higher levels in other world cups. Currently, the only world cup they have won is the rugby world cup.
