Jordaan Secures Fourth Term Leading Safa | Johannesburg News

Danny Jordaan has been re-elected president of South Africa’s football association for a fourth term, defeating challenger Sandile Zungu 157 to 82, securing his leadership until 2030. In a fiery press conference, Jordaan celebrated key wins under his watch — including Banyana Banyana’s 2022 AFCON title, the U20 boys’ continental crown in 2025, and Bafana Bafana’s return to the World Cup in 2026 — while lambasting media for focusing on negativity. He defended his decision to run again, citing Safa’s democratic process, and criticized Zungu’s campaign as lacking vision and relying on attacks. Zungu, gracious in defeat, congratulated Jordaan and signaled he’ll prioritize the sport’s future over personal ambition. Jordaan also backed FIFA president Infantino despite controversies, citing global private investment models, while his own fraud trial looms in November.
