South African Football Association

The South African Football Association (SAFA) is the national administrative governing body that controls the sport of football in South Africa and is a member of the Confederation of African Football (CAF). It was established in 1991. The South African Football Association is the second football association in South Africa to be named the South African Football Association and is also the second football association in South Africa to affiliate to FIFA. The present day South African Football Association, unlike its predecessor during the apartheid era, allows for a mixed-race national team.
