Just months ahead of the 2026 World Cup in North America, turmoil has struck the South African Football Association (SAFA), BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Despite South Africa securing qualification for the Mundial, the governing body under President Danny Jordan is facing internal turbulence. 

In a recent statement, SAFA announced the suspension of four executive members from all football-related activities in the country.

The association did not provide detailed reasons for the suspensions, but sources suggest internal disagreements and governance issues have escalated tensions within the leadership.

SAFA has pledged to conduct thorough investigations and maintain the integrity of South African football ahead of the global tournament.

Fans and stakeholders are watching closely as the nation prepares for its World Cup campaign, hoping that administrative crises do not overshadow the team’s on-field preparations.
