AmaZulu boss Sandile Zungu reveals his Safa presidential ambition if nominated
Sandile Zungu has revealed his bold ambitions for South African football should he be elected as Safa President.
Zungu has raised his hand to contest current president Danny Jordaan to the top football job in South Africa.
Safa goes to its elective congress in September where expectation is that Jordaan would retain the position but that was before Zungu raised his hand.
“Given all the resources we have, I want South Africa to be the number one team on the continent,” said Zungu.
“This applies to our football, our infrastructure, and our development pipelines. South Africa has to comfortably sit in the top three on the continent in terms of performance at the national team level.
“We have to be highly intentional about developing raw talent and creating clear pathways for players to move abroad. When we do that, everything else will come together. Football is a powerful weapon for social cohesion. Once football begins to thrive on the pitch, corporate sponsorships will naturally follow.”
