READER LETTER | As Mzansi and the world try to rebuild after a tumultuous 18 months caused by the devastating impact of the coronavirus, I just don’t see the logic why the SA Football Association (Safa) wants to host the 2021 Fifa Club World Cup.
The third-biggest economy in the world, Japan, has withdrawn due to unfavourable global conditions. Why do we think we are more than ready? Japan has
just hosted the Olympics and the Paralympics and it is certainly feeling the pinch. It was clear even before the Olympics that it was forced to host for fear of incurring astronomical debts. I have a few question for Safa.
I hope and wish the government will not give its stamp of approval for this as we have a lot to deal with. The last thing we need are throngs of people flocking south for some obscure football gimmick.
