Adams had only recently returned to South Africa after representing Bafana Bafana at FIFA World Cup 2026 in Canada, Mexico and the United States.
Adams started two of the three World Cup matches he appeared in for South Africa, despite the death of his grandmother, Marianna, one day before the 1-1 draw with the Czech Republic.
He started in that match, as well as the game in which South Africa lost 2-0 to Mexico. He was a substitute in a 1-0 win over South Korea.
He was an unused substitute when South Africa was knocked out of the tournament by Canada.
Speaking during the visit, Jordaan described Adams’ death as a devastating loss for South African football.
