With the FIFA 2010 Soccer World Cup fast approaching the whole of South Africa is in some state of planning or preparation for this historic event.

With abundant local talent in the younger players, all South Africans are hopeful that Bafana Bafana will make our nation proud!

Soccer in South Africa has a rich and interesting history with the first documented matches played as early as the 1860s.

Today the South African Football Association (SAFA) controls soccer in South Africa. SAFA was founded at the end of 1991 as the apartheid era was coming to an end.
