SAFA President Dr Danny Jordaan says the association has made giant strides since his executive was elected into office on September 28, 2013.
Then, SAFA recorded a R100-million loss, but since then there has been a massive turnaround, which includes almost all of the national sides qualifying for global and continental major tournaments, and the finances look good.
Dr Jordaan recollected how the association lost sponsors worth over R60m with the threat of more sponsors leaving. In the same year, no national team qualified for CAF and FIFA competitions.
It was then that the association came with the Technical Master Plan, which only existed on paper as there were no resources allocated to that project.
That is when the new SAFA NEC met in January 2014 to adopt Vision 2022 to address those challenges. The SAFA president articulated in detail pillars of Vision 2022, stressing it is the backbone of the association’s blueprint going forward.
Dr Jordaan also spoke about the assets and revenue of the association, adding at the end of the current financial year (June), SAFA was likely to realise a considerable profit.
