About Us
Welcome to a new era in South African football governance and administration. Recognizing the urgent need for comprehensive training at all levels, we are dedicated to transforming the landscape of football governance in South Africa.
Far too often, football administrators lack the specific training necessary to navigate the complex administrative functions of a football association. We are pleased that CAF has initiated its own governance education programme for African football administrators and look forward to the fruits of this effort. But the gap remains wide. This gap in knowledge leads to misunderstandings and inefficiencies, undermining the potential of our football institutions. We identified this critical need and embarked on a mission to equip administrators with the tools and insights they need to excel.
Our approach involves guiding administrators towards valuable resources from around the globe. By exposing them to superior governance models, best practices, and advanced regulatory frameworks, we aim to elevate the standard of football administration in South Africa.
Our goal is to promote a culture of excellence, where administrators are not just followers of individual leaders, but staunch adherents to the constitution and the principles it enshrines. We believe in the primacy of the constitution in governing a football association.
It is our mission to instil a deep respect for the constitution, ensuring it is placed above all else. This commitment will prevent the common pitfall of administrators becoming loyal to individuals rather than the organization itself.
Furthermore, we strive to highlight the unique nature of football administration compared to other career fields. Understanding these nuances is essential for effective governance and the overall success of our football association.
Our focus is designed to bridge this gap, displaying an appreciation for the distinct regulatory ecosystem that governs football and helping the football association to arrive at a negotiated autonomy for the sport in the country.
Join us in our quest to promote better football governance in South Africa. Together, we can create a future where our football association becomes a model of integrity, efficiency, and excellence.
