TUESDAY, 11.00AM:
UNITED States soccer authorities have invited SA to an international friendly in Miami, Florida in September, Safa CEO Danny Jordaan said yesterday.
However, Bafana Bafana’s tight schedule for the rest of the year might mean them turning down the invitation. The team has still to play 10 international matches this year, and September is the only month with space for a breather, or additional matches. But, the Simba Four Nations Cup competition is usually held in September, although thus far Safa has not reached agreement with the sponsors.
Said Jordaan: “We will have to consider the invite, but it is up to our International Board committee to decide on that.”
Safa has already lined up international friendlies against England at Old Trafford on May 24, and against France in Paris in October.
