The Azanian People's Organisation (Azapo) has written to Fifa president Gianni Infantino requesting an investigation into the snub of Al Ahly coach Pitso Mosimane from the shortlist for the organisation’s 2021 Coach of the Year award.
Mbele wrote that the awards snub of Mosimane indicated Fifa had gone backwards on the issue of racism.
“It was not just a figment of our fertile imagination. Your organisation is now at the centre to undermine yesteryear's efforts to end racism in sport. “If this record is not deserving of global recognition, perhaps as Fifa you must tell us what Africans should [do] for global sport recognition, in your view.”
