MONDAY, 11.00AM:
THE SA Football Association (Safa) will meet with its marketing arm Awesome Sports International (ASI) on Monday to discuss the withdrawal of Foodcorp as the sponsor of the Four Nations Cup.
“I’m in the dark about the whole thing. I hope the meeting will bring some clarity,” said Safa CEO Danny Jordaan.
ASI’s contract, which expires at the end of this year, will not be renewed. “The contract has nearly run its course. That’s it,” Jordaan said.
Safa has a shortlist of three local and international marketing companies to take over from ASI. “We are looking at the three companies. It’s likely that the contract wil go to a South African company,” added Jordaan.
