Bafana Bafana moving on up!
Fifas världsrankning bjöd på en riktigt trevlig överraskning.
Bafana Bafana har avancerat från en plats 83 på Fifas världsrankning till 66. En klättring på 17 platser.
SAFA's VD Leslie Sedibe säger såhär till SAFA.net
“This is good news and a great measure for return on investment. The camps in Brazil and Germany have resulted in victories against quality oppositions like Denmark, Colombia and France just to name but a few. Bafana Bafana’s rise is an indication that the Association is on the right track in terms of repositioning our National teams. SAFA’s quest for continental football glory is inevitable. Our objectives are realistic and achievable. Our National Under-17 Women’s Team (Bantwana) has qualified for the FIFA Under-17 Women’s World Cup to be played in September this year in Trinidad and Tobago, while our National Developmental Team has qualified for the finals of the CAF’s African Nations Championships in Sudan next year. We have not reached our target yet, but this is the beginning of a process to restore our pride as a great football nation. We are going to double our efforts to realise our dream. As a country we have just staged a successful 2010 FIFA World Cup, and it is incumbent upon us as the leadership of football to transfer that winning and championship mentality onto the football fields across our beautiful country,” said Sedibe."
Framtiden för Sydafrika ser ljus ut!
