WHAT SAFA PRESIDENT DR DANNY JORDAAN SAID…

“The Sasol League National Championship has become a key event in our football calendar,” said SAFA President Dr Danny Jordaan.

“For years now the championship has become a breeding ground for future Banyana Banyana players.

“Most of the current Banyana Banyana players who conquered the continent during the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco were spotted in this tournament.

“And we are confident that more future Thembi Kgatlanas and Jermaine Seoposenwes will be unearthed during the upcoming tournament.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank Sasol for being reliable partners in the phenomenal growth of women’s football.

“Sasol is proverbially putting their money where their mouth is.”

Meanwhile, Nozipho Mbatha, Sasol Senior Manager: Group Brand and Sponsorships added:

“We are excited to be hosting our annual Sasol League National Championship.

“I’m pleased we will be in Limpopo to crown the 2022 Diski Queens.

“What excites me the most is that we will be able to host fans at this year’s games.

“When we partnered with SAFA a few years ago, we had discovered the gap and needed to be key custodians in women’s football.

“To create a hub that would nurture and develop the passion for women’s football players.

“We believe that this year’s championship will unearth new talent.

“I encourage all players to fight hard on the field as they could be spotted by coaches and talents scouts of the national teams.”
