The SA Football Association’s (Safa) national executive committee (NEC) have resolved that the body will not pursue the bid to host the 2021 Fifa Club World Cup, with the main challenge being vaccinations and fans in stadiums.
Safa said in a statement it had resolved to liaise with the government on the issue of supporters returning to stadiums.
Safa said in a statement on Saturday: “With regards to the Fifa Club World Cup, the Safa NEC said the issue of the short period of time left to bid and put all processes in place was proving a challenge. The Fifa Club World Cup is scheduled to take place in December. “With regards to fans returning to the stadiums, the NEC resolved that football should play a major role in the vaccination drive.
