Skomota’s look in soccer kit sparks a stir
Skomota sent social media into a spin after rocking a full soccer kit.
The viral image, showing him posing confidently in a green soccer kit alongside other players, has fans hilariously imagining him as South Africa’s next football star.
While it remains unclear whether the viral personality actually plays for a local team or simply donned the kit for fun, that didn’t stop South Africans from unleashing their creativity.
As the image made rounds online, many took to X (formerly Twitter) to give Skomota football-inspired nicknames, blending humour with nods to iconic players.
User @TwaRSA26 got the ball rolling by asking, “Give him a football nickname,” and the internet delivered.
Among the standout suggestions were:
“Skominho,” shared by @Kabiba_78
“Erling Skomoland,” from @_Lembz
“Skomaldo,” suggested by @starmahlalela
And a full lineup from @RaizoSiphelo, who added: “Skom-kom, Eskom, Skomito, skokorotso, skomtinho, Skomizo, skopotjikos, Skomshishi, Skoro-koro”
KopanoLeie kept it simple, noting: “I think Skomota is a suitable name for him in any field.”
The trending image follows another viral moment where Skomota was spotted in yet another work uniform, leading fans to wonder what he actually does when he’s not lighting up TikTok with his signature dance style.
