Danny Jordaan Wishes Lydia Monyepao All the Best! This is after her new role within South African football.

On Monday, 8 May 2023, Lydia Monyepao was announced as the new SAFA CEO. President Danny Jordaan has wished her all the best in her new role.

Former CEO Advocate Tebogo Motlanthe resigned from his role last weekend. He was replaced by Monyepao.

Jordaan is convinced that the newly appointed Chief Executive has what it takes to help the association achieve its goals. Currently, they are in the process of submitting a bid to FIFA for hosting the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

“We wish her all the best.” Jordaan told the SAFA media house.

“Certainly, at the SAFA Emergency Committee meeting yesterday (Sunday, 8 May 2023) the decision was unanimous. Everyone agreed to the appointment of Lydia Monyepao as the Chief Executive Officer of the South African Football Association.

“So, congratulations, and you have to hit the ground running. The first engagement is tomorrow (Tuesday, 9 May 2023) in Cape Town with the government.

“She knows all the deadlines (for South Africa’s bid for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup) because  she has been working on all these matters anyway, and it is nothing new.”    

This year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup will be held in Australia and New Zealand. Danny Jordaan Wishes Lydia Monyepao All the Best!
