For most 10-year-olds, making TikTok videos is simply fun and games. But for youngster Luca Human-Mar, those videos have earned him the opportunity of a lifetime: a trip to the 2026 Fifa World Cup, where he will walk onto the pitch before the football match involving Bafana Bafana.
The Grade 5 pupil was selected as an official Fifa match ball carrier after winning a competition hosted by Kia South Africa earlier this year.
The young football fanatic from Victory Park, Johannesburg, will now travel to Atlanta in the US with his mother on June 15, before taking part in the official Fifa Match Ball Carrier programme on June 18 during Bafana Bafanas clash against the Czech Republic.
