Women’s football in South Africa is in a position of unprecedented strength and statistics show that 2020 will go down as a landmark year despite the premature end to the Covid-19-affected season.
Presently a record 20 SA players are plying their trade in foreign women’s leagues and that points to the growth of individual players. One statistic that Safa can be proud of is that presently all the women’s national teams have female head coaches. This is rare for any of the major SA sports codes. Rugby and cricket, for example, have a few female national teams that have male head coaches.
“The federation has diligently engaged stakeholders to ensure that national football take steps to empower girls and women in all facets of the sport. We must ensure opportunities for further growth and harness its potential for development. World football body Fifa recently confirmed that MySAFA is in elite company in the field of player registration systems.
This will pit local women’s clubs against the continent’s best and it will be of great benefit for the national team.
