25 June 2025 – The South African Football Association (SAFA) is shocked and saddened to hear about the passing of former Mamelodi Sundowns chairman Angelo Tsichlas.

Angelo Tsichlas was the husband of SAFA Vice-President Natasha Tsichlas and he passed away following a car crash in Pretoria on Tuesday night.

Both Angelo and Natasha have contributed immensely to South African football and his passing is a devastating loss. Their role in helping to grow Sundowns into the club it is today can never be underestimated and the continued contribution to numerous parts of the game both at home and on the continent is immeasurable.

Angelo’s passing is a huge loss and we as SAFA offer our deepest condolences. We join in mourning his passing and  trust that God will grant Natasha and the family healing and comfort.

May his soul Rest in Peace.
