South Africa U20 Overview

Danny Jordaan has secured a fourth consecutive term as the President of the South African Football Association (SAFA) following a landslide victory at the elective congress in Midrand. The incumbent defeated challenger Sandile Zungu by 157 votes to 82, ensuring his leadership of the organization continues until at least 2030. Zungu was gracious in defeat whilst Jordaan immediately threw his weight behind the FIFA president's controversial FFE plan.

Sandile Zungu and Danny Jordaan have spent months campaigning for the presidency of the South African Football Association (SAFA) by slinging accusations at one another. And now, as the conference is set to kick off the organisation has released a statement alleging the campaigning has gone too far.

Bafana Bafana super fan Joy "Mama Joy" Chauke has broken her neutral stance to publicly throw her weight behind the incumbent South African Football Association president. Despite the South African National Supporters’ (SANASU) official position of non-alignment, the iconic supporter believes Jordaan remains the right man to lead South African football into the next international cycle.

SAFA presidential candidate Sandile Zungu has pledged to fast-track the implementation of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology if he is elected to lead the federation. Speaking ahead of the upcoming elective congress, the ambitious administrator highlighted the critical need for technological assistance to eliminate questionable officiating in the local game.
