The SAFA Elective Congress will be held on 12 September 2026 and the Governance Committee, which is an independent body, was tasked with dealing with any issues around the candidates, and checking whether they meet the criteria for nomination in terms of the SAFA statutes.

The Governance Committee submitted the final findings of the candidate nominations before the members of the media at SAFA House on Friday, 28 August 2026. The Committee has now confirmed the eligibility of the final list of candidates for the position of President, the National Executive Committee and the Provincial office.

“Let me take this opportunity to thank the members of the Governance Committee who ensured that the eligibility test was conducted on time, and therefore with gratitude and confidence that we have been able to complete the exercise. The results have been submitted to the SAFA management, who will in turn communicate this to their respective nominees. We therefor believe that the process was indeed above board,” Dr Mogajane told www.safa.net on Saturday evening
