麥肯齊在11日發(fā)布的聲明中表示：“我懷著無比震驚和沉痛的心情得知馬梅洛迪日落隊(duì)和南非國家隊(duì)的中場球員杰登·亞當(dāng)斯不幸去世……南非足球失去一位耀眼的年輕天才，全國人民與他的家人、隊(duì)友以及數(shù)百萬球迷一同哀悼。”

South Africa's Minister of Sport Gayton McKenzie expressed his condolences. "Our nation mourns alongside his family, his teammates and the millions of supporters who watched him grow from a promising academy prospect into a full Bafana Bafana international," McKenzie said in a statement.

南非足球運(yùn)動員聯(lián)盟同日發(fā)表聲明，對亞當(dāng)斯英年早逝“悲痛欲絕”。聲明說，在世界杯賽場，肩負(fù)著國家希望的亞當(dāng)斯展現(xiàn)了勇氣和卓越的球技，他的離世對家人、隊(duì)友、俱樂部、足球界乃至整個國家來說都是“無法估量的損失”。

"The South African Football Players Union is devastated by the untimely passing of Mamelodi Sundowns and Bafana Bafana midfielder, Jayden Adams," the SAFPU, an official body for players ?in the country, said in a statement Saturday. "His passing is an immeasurable loss to his family, teammates, clubs, the football fraternity and the country at large."

亞當(dāng)斯死訊最初由當(dāng)?shù)孛襟w從其家人處證實(shí)后披露，但未對相關(guān)細(xì)節(jié)進(jìn)行報道。個別社交媒體稱亞當(dāng)斯系因抑郁自殺。亞當(dāng)斯的祖母在世界杯期間不幸去世。

The player's grandmother died a day before South Africa ?played the Czechs, and he was replaced at halftime during the ?fixture.

麥肯齊在聲明中表示，亞當(dāng)斯死因尚未得到證實(shí)，請媒體和公眾保持同情心，避免捕風(fēng)捉影的猜測，“在這段極其艱難的時期，給他的家人和俱樂部留出所需的空間與隱私，所有官方信息將在適當(dāng)時候進(jìn)行通報”。

美加墨世界杯期間，亞當(dāng)斯代表南非隊(duì)出戰(zhàn)了三場小組賽，南非隊(duì)分別以0:2負(fù)于墨西哥隊(duì)、1:1戰(zhàn)平捷克隊(duì)、1:0戰(zhàn)勝韓國隊(duì)。

The Mamelodi Sundowns player started South Africa's first two games, a 0-2 defeat against host Mexico and a 1-1 draw against Czechia. He then came off the bench in the 1-0 upset victory over South Korea that sent South Africa to the Round of 32.
