世足》太震撼了！南非32強落敗止步　才過12天傳出25歲中場球員驟逝

南非足球界迎來令人心碎的一天。年僅25歲的國家隊中場球星亞當斯（Jayden Adams）於當地時間7月11日驚傳離世，距離他代表「巴法納巴法納」（Bafana Bafana）征戰2026年世界盃、於32強賽不敵加拿大止步，僅僅過了12天。消息人士透露，這位年僅25歲的球員是因憂鬱症自殺身亡。

亞當斯的離世消息已由南非足球員工會（SAFPU）發布聲明證實，工會在聲明中表達了深切的悲痛與不捨。聲明中指出，亞當斯不久前才剛披上國家隊戰袍出戰世界盃，他帶著榮耀、勇氣與卓越的表現扛起國人期望，他的離去對家人、隊友、球會、整個南非足球圈乃至國家，都是無法估量的損失。

Death has cruelly stolen one of our own.

It has robbed our nation of a remarkable footballer, but it will never take away the legacy Jayden Adams leaves behind. We will forever remember his humility, his extraordinary talent and the pride with which he represented South Africa.… pic.twitter.com/zl6uNXrbaV

這名才華洋溢的中場球員，在本屆世界盃小組賽中表現活躍，於對戰墨西哥、捷克與南韓的賽事中皆獲得上場機會。而令人動容的是，亞當斯在對戰捷克一役中先發上陣，其實是在他72歲祖母瑪麗安娜（Marianna Adams）去世的隔天。當時南非足協曾發布消息證實此事，並表示亞當斯在承受喪親之痛下仍全力為國出征，最終該場比賽南非以1比1與捷克握手言和。

亞當斯出身於斯泰倫博斯（Stellenbosch FC）青訓系統，2020年簽下首份職業合約，並逐漸站穩球隊核心地位。他共為該隊出賽139場，高居隊史出場次數第二位，隨後轉戰豪門馬梅洛迪日落（Mamelodi Sundowns）。在國家隊層級，亞當斯累計9次代表南非出賽，更是2024年非洲國家盃銅牌班底成員。這名曾被譽為南非足球未來希望的新星驟逝，令各界震驚與惋惜，其經紀人已呼籲社會大眾尊重家屬隱私，讓家人能平靜度過此刻的艱難時刻。
