Rexona SA wrote in the caption:

“This FIFA World Cup 2026, we're more ready than ever. With a dream team of ambassadors and new limited editions, ready for every moment.”

Mokoena was not part of Rexona’s original FIFA World Cup short film released globally in April 2026. His inclusion in the latest campaign marks another major moment in his growing international profile.

The earlier Rexona campaign featured football stars and supporters from around the world. Broadcast Now said the advert aimed to capture “the shared tension and exhilaration across players and fans that defines football’s biggest stage.”
