Annual SAFA Cape Town Congress, CAPE TOWN, 10 APRIL 2016
Presidential Address
Introduction
I am very pleased to present my annual report to all the members,
officials, players, associate members, and Life Members.
SAFA Cape Town Region has shown over time that it is the best
and most well-administered Region of all the SAFA Regions
throughout the country. This is no doubt due to the competence,
dedication and ability of many officials who administer our LFAs, and those who serve on the
Regional Executive Committee (“REC”), and the Management Committee (“MANCO”). We
are also blessed with a dedicated and committed office staff who continue to perform valiantly
despite relatively low pay.
The most important thing is that the Region is stable which allows the officials to concentrate on
the development of football which is our core business. Our financial position could be better,
but is probably the best of all the SAFA Regions as we continue to show a positive difference
between income and expenditure. We lack more
sponsorships which is very difficult to attract in an
increasingly depressed economy. It is therefore
even more important for those who are employed
and those who can afford to assist those less
privileged and those who are unemployed. We
have a
duty to
provide
football for all our communities especially those
previously and still currently disadvantaged.
Governance
Our governance of football in the Region has
improved. Regular REC and MANCO meetings are
held. With all LFAs being represented on the REC,
there can be little or no complaints about the information flow from the Region to the LFAs.
However, the problem is that there are several LFAs who do not attend REC meetings which
puts them at a disadvantage. This is an area where there can be much improvement.
SAFA Cape Town hosted the SAFA Extraordinary Constitutional Congress on 26 September 2015
at the Cape Sun in Cape Town where important amendments were made to the SAFA Statutes
ranging from the National Statutes to LFA Statutes. The
meeting was well organised, well attended, and
culminated in an U-17 match at Athlone Stadium
between the AmaJimbos and Chile which
subsequently hosted the U-17 World Cup. The gala
dinner that preceded the match was well attended,
and all REC members were invited to attend.
Committee meetings are not well attended which
seems to indicate that there are many LFAs who are
either one-man (woman) shows or they simply do not
make an effort to attend the meetings. All
Committees are important, not only the Competitions’
Committee which at least appears to be well
attended at all times.
Finance
As indicated above, our finances are in a positive space. There is much room for improvement.
We continue to rely on monies received from
registrations, and this year we will revert to the
yearly registration of players. The experiment with
two-yearly registrations was detrimental to the
Region’s coffers. There are still LFAs who under-
register, and it is the intention to clamp down on
this practice, and to take the necessary
disciplinary action if needs be.
Our Treasurer needs to be commended for his
solid performance in that position and keeping
our finances in check, and keeping all of us in
check when it comes to demands on the
Treasury.
Competition
The Coke Competition was again run competently with far less protests and complaints than
previous years. We do need to ensure that the prize money for the Coke Competition is
increased and an early engagement with Coke is required. The inter-LFA Competition also
went smoothly and it is pleasing to note that most of the LFAs participated. We congratulate all
the winners concerned.
Schools
This season we embark on a massive project in terms of which we taken over the running of
schools in the SAFA Cape Town Region. This is a daunting project which we must undertake
with the necessary vigour and determination. If properly run, our future will be secured. We wish
those involved in driving the project all the best.
Women’s Football
Our women’s football
improves all the time,
and has demonstrated
that with more support
and resources, they
could be even better.
We have had national
representation coming
from women’s football
whereas this has not
been the case with men’s football. Hopefully schools’ football will also give women’s football a
major boost.
The Presentation Awards
The junior presentation was held at the
Bonteheuwel Sports Complex and the senior
presentation at the Cape Town Civic.
Congratulations to all those who won their
awards and to those Life Members who were
conferred this special status at the senior
presentation.
Conclusion
The past season went relatively smoothly and I
am confident that we can look forward to the
new season with hope and encouragement
that we will improve in all areas of our many
activities. It remains to thank all of you from the
LFAs in particular who ensure football for the
masses on a weekly basis. I also wish to thank
our fellow REC and MANCO members for their
dedication, commitment and support and for
working together to make the Region even
better.

Committee by:
………………………………..

TREASURER
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF SAFA CAPE TOWN
We have audited the annual financial statements of SAFA Cape Town, which comprise the
Regional Executive Committee’s report, the statement of financial position at 31 October 2015, the
statement of comprehensive income and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a
summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, as set out on pages 3 to
13.
Regional Executive Committee’s responsibility for the financial statements.
The Regional Executive Committee is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these
financial statements in accordance with the basis of accounting set out in note 1 to the financial
statements. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control
relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, selecting and applying appropriate accounting
policies, and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. These standards
require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’
judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements whether due to fraud or error. In making these risk assessments the auditor considers
internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements
in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting principles noted and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates made by the Executive Committee, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinion.
Qualification
In common with similar organisations, it is not feasible for the Association to institute accounting
controls over cash collections prior to the initial entry in the accounting records. Accordingly, it was
not practicable for us to extend our examination beyond the receipts actually recorded.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion, except for the effects on the financial statements, if any, of the matter referred to in
the preceding paragraph, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects the
financial position of the Association as at 31 October 2015 and of its financial performance and
cash flow information for the year then ended in accordance with the basis of accounting set out
in note 1 of the financial statements, and in accordance with generally accepted accounting
practice.
Matter of emphasis
Without qualifying our opinion, it should be noted that during the financial year there was
breakdown in accounting policies and procedures relating to player registrations. This resulted in
LFAs being given registration cards on credit and at 31 October 2015 there was a significant debt
due to the Association. Subsequent to the year-end considerable effort has been made by SAFA
Cape Town officials to rectify the situation and the risk of possible bad debts has been minimised to
an immaterial amount. It is imperative that control procedures are strictly followed to prevent such
an occurrence in future financial years.

REGIONAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE’S REPORT for the year ended 31 October 2015
The Regional Executive Committee has pleasure in submitting their report which forms part of the
audited annual financial statements of the Association, for the year ended 31 October 2015.
BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
The Association’s business and operations and the results thereof are clearly reflected in the
attached financial statements. The Association is responsible for organising and administering
amateur football, both seniors and juniors, in the Cape Town Metropole and surrounding environs.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
The results of the Association and the state of its affairs are set out in the attached financial
statements. The Association’s deficit from ordinary activities amounted to R20 905 (2014: deficit
R552 741).
An adverse cost opinion was granted in October 2015 in a High Court case against the joint
applicants SAFA Cape Town and SAFA National. At this stage the cost has not been determined
yet, but it should be noted that SAFA National will carry the greater percentage of such cost.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
There have been no facts or circumstances of a material nature that have occurred between the
accounting date and the date of this report.
AUDITORS
Messrs Mark Lindon & Associates have remained auditors of the Association.

NOTES TO THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 October 2015
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following principal accounting policies of the Association have been consistently followed in all
material respects:
1.1 Income
Income consists primarily of registration fees and sponsorship income, together with income
generated from various other sources.
1.2 Financial instruments
Financial assets are recognised when the Association has rights or other access to economic
benefits. Such assets consist of cash, equity instruments, a contractual right to receive cash, or
other financial assets, or a contractual right to change financial instruments with another entity
on potentially favourable terms.
Financial liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation to transfer benefits and that
obligation is a contractual liability to deliver cash or another financial asset or to exchange
financial instruments with another entity on potentially unfavourable terms. When these criteria
no longer apply, a financial asset or liability is no longer recognised.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at their nominal value as reduced by appropriate allowances
for estimated irrecoverable amounts.
1.3 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, which includes all costs directly
attributable to bringing the assets to working condition for their intended use.
Depreciation is calculated by a charge to income computed on a straight-line basis over the
assets expected useful lives, which are as follows:
Computer equipment - 3 years
Equipment – 5 years
Furniture – 5 years
Office equipment – 3 years
Office fittings – 5 years
Website design – 3 years

5.1 ADVANCE REGISTRATIONS
SAFA Cape Town changed its registration policy from a one-year to a two-year registration during the
current financial year. Juniors pay R20 (2014: R10) and seniors R50 (2014: R30) for the two year registration.
In order to align income with expenses for printing of registration cards R10 per junior and R20 per senior was
transferred to an advance registration account. Similarly, an amount for the cost of the registration cards
was also transferred from expenses.
The transferred amounts are disclosed as debits against income and a credit against expenses in the
statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 31 October 2015.

NOTES TO THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 31 October 2015
7 CONTINGENT LIABILITY
A dispute has arisen regarding the processing of registration cards which was outsourced in the
previous financial year. SAFA Cape Town resolved to process the registration cards utilising the entity’s
own resources because of a breach of contract due to non-delivery by the service provider.
Subsequently, SA Process Logistics Services have lodged a claim amounting to R229 118 which they
state is the amount they should have received in terms of the provisions of the contract agreed with
SAFA Cape Town. The matter is being given urgent attention by the Management Committee
(MANCOM) of the Association.
Player Registrations
HOD: Wayne Weitz
Strategic Highlights
The single most important matter is the registration of all players and members. To affect this we
needed to streamline our processes to ensure that registration takes place without any
hindrances. The AGM resolution taken in January 2015 to accept the registration for a period of
two years brought its own challenges to the organization. A third party provider was under
contract to provide a service to the organization. A report submitted of outstanding debt from
members and the service provider had to be dealt with immediately.
Financial Highlights
The organization report on registrations for 2014 was submitted and required it to actioned. The
members finalized the monies owed to the organization and necessary payment arrangements
was concluded. The outstanding matter was that we had a total of R36 585 that was written off as
bad debt at the General council meeting held in August 2015. The envisage budget amount of R
2 214 520 was calculated on the organisation registering a total of 67 000. At the end of the
financial year we had a total registration figure of 65454 excluding the duplicates and spoilt cards
a shortfall of 1546 compared to the actual projected total. The total sum of R1 9993 360 was
collected which is well short of the envisaged projected income. The total expenses on
registration for the year amounted to R348 318 and in return a saving of R 100 000 as per the
budget.
Operating Highlights
The system and the labour intensity of our system needs to be addressed as soonest. The
completion and supporting documentation has improved but still a challenge for certain
members. The lack of LFA’s not appointing a registration person to manage this process and
minimizing delays and queries. The office staff ensured that the entire process with producing the
player card was a controlled and a smooth process. The process of a card was at minimal 5- 7
days with exception during the time of load shedding.
Looking Ahead
The system requires an overall clean up and it must move from its current desk top to a web
based system. The changes and introduction of the propose new system must be ready to go
online before January 2017, it will come online at various stages and therefore our members must
be able to move with the envisage changes without hindering any of our processes.

Conclusion
The process and procedures as agreed for all members in relation to registration must be adhered
to including staff members. Cash payments at the bank must be deposited at the ATM instead of
inside the bank especially if it’s a small amount. No cash to be accepted at the office for
registration must be done via the LFA into SAFA CT bank account.

Youth
HOD: Lindsay Davids
Introduction
I would like to request that all delegates rise
to their feet and a special round of applause
be given in honour of the late Basil
Palanyandi who was passed on during his
term as the HOD of Youth. We would like to
thank his family and I pleased to announce
that at a recent General Council Meeting it
was resolved to name the Inter LFA
Competition ‘THE BASIL PALANYANDI SAFT CT
INTER REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS’.
Development
With the election of the new REC and a new
Youth Department in office, the order of
business was to change things of what we
have learnt at ground level how things were
done in past and what needs changing and
also what worked. The current youth structure
cannot run only with what was acceptable
and successful in the past but that we bring in
new ideas, continuity and improve on the
past ways.
Key to this change is the bringing to an end
two issues which are currently causing a
problem in our approach to development i.e.
The use of the trials system to select or
identify our best talent
Possibly, for Regional team selection this
process was viewed as the best way of
ensuring fairness and openness to all aspiring
footballers to get a window of opportunity to
the possibilities that football brings.
Unfortunately with the changes in the football
world and the dynamics of our current
environment it is clear to see that the trials
system actually stifles progress and selection
on merit. We have thus implemented that the
selection of players must come from our
official matches such as the Inter LFA, Coke
Cup and the possibility that we can send our
Regional coaches to LFAs to identity and
monitor players in the system. This also comes
with a players data base so that players can
be called back through the various age
divisions. To coach them without playing a
role in the selection of those players?”
The importance of tournaments
We have also seen a there are many
tournaments in SAFA CT. In discussions with
coaches which have travelled abroad it has
become clear more competition makes for
better players. Internationally there are
tournaments after tournaments and the
power house teams of our world travels to
these tournaments so that it creates a
suitable strength vs strength tournaments thus
their players are more technically sound and
familiar with travelling and still performing on
the field. More often our players at the start of
a Regional Tournament seem lost in a foreign
ground.
Inter LFA tournament
This tournament must be used to find and
select our best players. All LFAs are
encouraged to participate in this Tournament
and to ensure that their clubs make available
the best for the LFA team to participate. In
the past seasons Competitions we were
pleased that almost all LFAs participated in
the Competition. The Youth Department
would like to once again congratulate Cape
Town Tygerberg for winning all the divisions.
The format of the Inter LFA seems to be sound
and we will stick to it again and include the
new LFAs. The Competition is scheduled to
commence on Sunday, 24th April 2016. All
LFAs are advised to prepare accordingly.
Coke Cup (Under 18’s)
The Competition has been changed from
U17 to U18. The finals take place at a packed
Athlone Stadium with Masidlale FC the
eventual winners. Entries for this year’s
Competition are due the 22nd April 2016 and
will commence on the 15th May 2016. All LFAs
are encouraged to get all their teams to
enter.
Inter-Regional Tournaments
We have done well in both the male and
female divisions, winning all the divisions
except for the boys U17. We have a minimum
of 8 players selected per Provincial team
which further illustrates the importance of our
Region being allowed to send its own team
to Inter Provincial Tournaments.
Youth Indaba
We have engaged Mr Dawood Esack to
assist the Association with the planning of the
Youth Indaba. We will invite as many role
players as possible so that maximum input
can be made. The Youth Indaba will be
provide the framework, structure and future
plans to ensure successful youth
programmes. Logistical arrangements with
regard to this will be made and
communicated to the LFA’s.
Meetings:
Meetings will held as frequently as required so
that that matters can be speedily and easily
resolved. LFAs can also make contact with
me if there are any urgent matters instead of
waiting for meetings.
Closure
In closing I want to thank all the LFAs for their
support during my short period of taking over
the Youth Department. I will ensure that the
department continues to run in an effective
an efficient manner. Looking forward to
working with all of you in the season ahead.
Women’s
HOD: Lutfeyah Abrahams
Women’s football was a very busy but
successful year in 2015; however there is still
much room for improvement especially in the
development of referees; coaches and

Jerome Damon (Acting): Referee
Development
Responsible for the Training and
development of all Match Officials,
Assessors, Match Commissioners and
Instructors
I would like to thank the members
committee for their time and efforts this
year.
We have some ambitious plans for 2016
that will benefit all, should we be
successful in achieving them.
Referee Abuse
Unfortunately, referee abuse was not
eradicated this year. With numerous
reports including physical assaults coming
in from various match officials about fools
who want to take away the enjoyment of
a good game of soccer.
The Committee will be taking a more
forceful approach to referee abuse. We
should start naming and shaming these
uncouth individuals.
I am unapologetic about any methods to
achieve this and to put our point across.
As a Region we need to reduce and
minimise these types of incidents.
Referee Coaching & Examinations
Two (2) formative assessments (theory
examinations) were held this year. Once
again LFA’s must ensure that their match
officials are prepared theoretically for the
examinations as 56% of match officials did
not meet the prescribed minimum
standard as set by the National Office. It is
also encouraging that more women are
writing examination.
Once must also note that the National
Office has also finalised the syllabus for all
levels and all match officials will be trained
to the set National standard.
Courses and Examinations are conducted
by experienced referee instructors who
have backgrounds and experience in
refereeing. Included in these courses is
the training of LFA Referee Instructors so
that they can train match officials at LFA
level. We are only reaching a handful of
LFA’s as interest need to be spurred on by
our LFA officials.
The Region must also complete the
Regional Referee Course for its SAB and
SSD officials in early 2016 to complete the
2015 program; we were unable to
complete this course due to the high
amount of competitions taking place.
What is of great concern is that LFAs are
not sending match officials especially
female officials to be trained as match
officials. This is an issue that must be taken
seriously in order for the Region to remain
of top of the refereeing game.
Referee Examination Summary:
Exam Level Passed Failed
Level 1 28 13
Level 2 4 16
Level 3 9 4
Level 4 4 2
Level 5 0 0
Other technical members like soccer
managers or coaches are still eluding us in
the examination process and the general
level course which is compulsory on
certain coaching levels.
The Region will also be conducting its
Annual Referees Fitness Test in December
2015 using the new Yoyo Referee
Endurance & Recovery Fitness test as the
testing method.
General
The Committee has also summited the
draft standardisation of referee fees to the
REC for consideration and hopefully
Regional Referees fees will be
standardised throughout the Region.
It is our hope that 2016 will have renewed
vigour and the roll out of the various
course at all levels will take place so that
our Referee Community will reach greater
height through development.

Inter LFA
The Inter LFAs semi-finals and finals took
place at Erica Park.
The host agreed on supplying staff and
members of REC breakfast and lunch.
After receiving a message that the kit for the
teams might not arrive on Friday as that was
the day we planned to have a handover, we
had to come up with plan b and that was to
do the hand over in the morning of the
match day. Almost all the LFA’s teams where
present and on time for the hand over beside
Strand and Gugulethu.
We received eight (8) kits from CTC Sports as
a form of sponsorship.
The field was branded on time and photos
were taken, Mancom members were present
to honor the occasion, marketing as always
and some of the REC members were also
present.
We had to use Mr. Lotriet sound system at no
cost, “bravo”.
A Coke Cup Finals Meeting was also held
with all finalists in order to prepare for the
day.
Sponsorship letters have been submitted to
three different companies:
Red Heart Rum
Distell
KWV
KWV is only opened for proposal during the
month of November in which Mr MP Neewat
left our proposal with them so that when the
time comes they have it at their disposal for
consideration.
Documentation for free usage of the
Stadium, security personnel, medical staff are
all in order and submitted.
Staff allocation for VIP area and field
branding is in order.
TV interview at CTV was done by Mr S
Ponoane (VP) and Mr B Sikiti (HOD:
Competitions)
Radio Interview at Khayelitsha Radio Zibonele
was done by Mr T Mohau, and Mr S Ponoane.
We could not do a live interview with Bush
Radio as they told us on the last minute that
we have to pay for the slot.
Coke Cup
On the 8th October 2015, the Coke Cup
Handover Function.
It was done at Athlone Stadium, Coke and
Safa branding was visible and appealing.
Marimba band was there for entertainment .
On the 10 October 2015 Coke Cup Finals.
Branding of the field was magnificent, coke
and marketing department did the branding.
Going forward we will have to ensure
accreditation is done properly for
attendance in Coke Cup.
VIP Area
It was decorated on time however there was
a misunderstanding of the opening time of
the VIP area and personnel responsible for
the VIP area.
We invited Thabo Mngomeni and George
Dearley to embrace us in our VIP area,
unfortunate
they could not come as I could not secure
their VIP Tickets and they were not on a roll
call on our VIP list.
Accountability steps must be put in place in
respect of stock distribution sponsorship items
received.
Gift bags were handed out. There is a room
of improvement in terms of running of our
programs delegation, responsibilities but most
importantly communication.
Task on hand
Build it Competition
Gala Event
Team Building (REC/Staff Outing).
5th December 2015 SAFA CT Gala Evening.
Despite the fact that the evening started late
than the schedule time, I must say that things
went well of course with hiccups that could
be managed.
Challenges
LFA’s that did not submit nominees was an
obvious and a visible factor on the day.
The logistics and the preparation of the event
were not up to the required standard of such
an Event.
Way forward
To get a list of all the LFA’s that did not submit
nomination.
Visits those LFA’s as to find the problem (s) or
the challenges they uncounted in terms of
their failure to submit.
Assisting those LFA’s on those challenges as
to avoid the repetition.
Having regular Road Shows as to make sure
that LFA’s and their affiliates are on par with
SAFA CT programs.
Proper allocation of a time frame for
preparation of any event is fundamental;
each event must be given enough time;
paying attention to details for any event is
crucial.
Next Year to do list
Submitting of Marketing Budget
SAFA Cape Town Website.
All the work done and prepared by the
following members Mr C Brown, Mr T Mohau,
Mr MP Neewat and Mr M Shinto with great
help of Mr W Wietz how can we forget the
wonderful SAFA CT Staff that’s always there
when we need them Ms Namhla Sombexe
Ms Andiswa Masimini, Mr Morne Barnes Ms
Kally Maasdorp and Ms Greschen Jafta.
Membership Affairs
HOD: Michael Ringo MBETHENI
Deputy HOD: Reyaad JOSEPH
The Membership Affairs department during
the year was involved in assisting LFA’s with
administrative, governance and
constitutional challenges. Our interventions to
align their processes had added great value
and we continue to be of support to the
LFA’s to overcome the challenges they face.
Aligned LFA Statutes
Many LFAs has not completed the aligning of
their Statutes and it has been a contributing
factor to many internal squabbles in LFAs. We
will embark on fast tracking this process in the
year to come and to engage in the Legal &
Constitutional Affairs Committee to fine
comb these statutes to ensure they
constitutionally comply.
Administration
It’s a known fact that capacity building is a
great need within SAFA Cape Town and the
LFA’s and we have been tasked for 2016 to
ensure that these interventions take place.
We will engage DCAS to partner in this
intervention.
Facilities
This remains a major challenge for our LFA’s.
Recently the City of Cape Town and SAFA
Cape Town
engaged in talks
and discussions the
challenges and the
way forward. District
meetings will now be
held with all LFA’s
that fall within these
districts in order for
the City to get
firsthand accounts of
the challenges facing our LFAs. LFA’s are
encouraged to attend these meeting and
we trust that the City address all concerns as
they are the City who works “Better
Together.”
New Memberships
The following new members were accepted
in 2015, Mitchells Plain Football District,
Hanover Park and Monwabisi. These LFA’s are
encouraged to register their members with
SAFA Cape Town to form part of our main
stream programs. We will continue to provide
leadership and guidance to our new
members and request that they inform the
Region of any challenges they face where
assistance could be provided.

Department Activities
Competitions is the major pillar/department
of our football at SAFA Cape Town, our
success is based on the quality and manner
in which we managed our task.
Competitions is the action department this is
how the Association move and act in the
best interest to our LFA’s and more
importantly our sponsors who pitch in much
needed funds that enable our sport to
operate at its highest level. We need to
ensure that at all times we meet the needs of
our sponsors so that we can give the best to
both sponsors and our footballers.
A strong region like SAFA Cape Town with all
the experience at their disposal within their
LFA’s cannot be stuck in an oppressive
situation where they cannot be allowed to
act in the best interest of the game.
Delegates must be allowed to express
themselves, and share their valuable
experience.
Competitions
SAFA Cape Town has provided great football
platform for all its LFA's and has made sure
that all LFAs do get a fair chance and
opportunity to participate in all our
prestigious events/competitions.
Herewith the Competitions that were held by
SAFA Cape Town in 2015:
1. Inter LFA (U/12,
U/14, U/18 & U18)
2. Coca-Cola Cup
(U18, Women and
seniors)
3. SAB League
4. LFA SAB
Promotional playoffs
5. SAFA Junior
League
Inter LFA
This competition went very well all our LFA's
taking part in this competition from the group
stages to the finals.
The format was 4 groups with 8 teams per
group and the winners and runners up will
qualify for last 16. The finals took place at
Erica Park – Northern Suburbs and herewith
the finalist and winners of the finals:
U/12 – Cape Town Tygerberg vs
Nyanga (Cape Town Tygerberg won
the final)
U/14 – Cape District vs Cape
Tygerberg (Cape Town Tygerberg won
the final)
U/16 – Cape District vs Cape
Tygerberg (Cape Town Tygerberg won
the final)
U/18 – Cape Tygerberg vs South
Peninsula (Cape Town Tygerberg won
the final)
Well done to Cape Town Tygerberg for
winning and collecting all the winners’
trophies in all divisions.
On behalf of competitions department and
SAFA Cape Town would like to thank
Northern Suburbs for providing the facility to
host these finals and catering for SAFA and
LFA officials that were in attendance on the
day.
Thanks also to our kit sponsor CTC Sports who
provided all the quarter finalists with kit.
Coca-Cola Cup
This is SAFA Cape Town's premier tournament
with over 600 teams participating in the u17,
women division and seniors. We had the best
Coke Amateur Cup competition this year
with very few defaults and very few protest
and complaints. The competition went very
smooth from preliminary round all the way to
the finals.
Under 18
We have started with 284 teams that applied
for participation for the U/18 Coke Cup. The
initial finals were between Masidlale (Nyanga
LFA) vs Ajax Cape Town (Cape Town
Tygerberg), however due to the withdrawal
of Ajax Cape Town in the competition,
Sporting United from (Metropolitan) who lost
in the semi-finals against Ajax Cape Town
had to recalled to replace Ajax Cape Town
in the finals (as per the rules of the
competitions).
Masidlale won 4 – 0 against South End and
Masidlale were crowned as 2015 U/18 Coke
Cup Champions.
Ladies Finals
We started from the last 32 with Sasol league
teams also involved in the competition. The
biggest surprise in the women's was that of
Cape Town Roses who were unable to
defend their Coke Cup title when they lost to
Cape Town Spurs in the semi-finals of the
competition. The finals were held between
RV United and Cape Town Spurs and it was
the great final indeed. RV United were crown
2015 Women's Coke Cup Champions after
beating Cape Town Spurs 2-0 in the final.
Men’s Finals
All the Coke Cup finals were held at Athlone
stadium and we had a greatest turn out form
the supporters.
The man's finals were between Young Idols
(Manenberg) up against Milano (South
Peninsula). Great final indeed and we saw a
spectacular goal that lead to Young Idols
winning the finals.
Young Idols 2 – 1 Milano
Congratulations and well done to all the
Coke Cup winners from various divisions.
We would like to thank Coca-Cola for their
greatest support in promoting and support
football development in our region
SAB League Promotion Play-offs
The playoffs for promotion to the LFA SAB
Promotional Play-offs were conducted, and
took place at Royal Roads. Clubs came in
numbers as each and every team was eager
and aiming at getting spot in the SAB league
competition.
The two finals were between: FN Rangers
(Tygerberg) up against Reggae Guys and
Ocean View up against Cape United - This
match was abandoned by the referee due
to a the assistant referee being assaulted. The
matter was referred to SAFA CT DC.
FN Rangers ended up beating Reggae Guys
in a close fought final.
SAFA Junior leagues
We had difficulties with number of LFA's
pertaining to this league and co-ordinators
from various LFA's not conforming to the
requirements of reporting. We struggled to
get information such as logs, results, fixtures
and updates from various LFA's. It was then
resolved that Inter LFA will cover as the SAFA
junior league as it is not a club competition. It
was then resolved at the REC meeting that all
the coordinators fees will be paid directly into
LFA's bank accounts not directly to the
coordinators.
Venues
SAFA Competitions department would like to
thank all the LFA's that has made their venues
available to host and accommodate all the
SAFA competitions that we have ran for the
year. We do know that venues do not belong
to SAFA Cape Town but to our LFA’s and the
different municipalities who controls them.
We would like to also request that once
again LFA's through FMC to avail their venues
again for the upcoming competitions this
year.
Conclusion
One would like to pay special thanks to all
our sponsors our LFA’s for their support
throughout the year. It was trying at times but
our assistance played a big role in our
success.
The REC members who availed themselves in
assisting, our staff, LFA delegates who
attended meetings during the year to ensure
that our programs run well a very big thank
you.
It’s been a privilege to be of service to you
and I hope that I have carried out my
mandate accordingly. May we have a better
2016 season with new energy and a sense of
direction to upgrade our sport and remain
the best Region of SAFA.
