SAFA is pulling out all the stops to establish a fully-fledged professional league for women in the country.
The South African Football Association is pulling out all the stops to establish a fully-fledged professional league for women in the country.
“The professionalisation of women’s football is something that we are really committed to. We’ve been speaking about that even before Banyana went to Sydney and New Zealand. It’s quite key that we create an environment where our girls can focus solely on playing football instead of having jobs 9 to 5 elsewhere and then ending up from 5pm until 9pm they are training elsewhere,” says SAFA Chief Executive Lydia Monyepao.
The betting company’s name is closely associated with women’s football in South Africa but from this season it will also sponsor the men’s regional league in the country. The fourth tier of South African football has been operating without a sponsor since 2019.
