Safa to approach Fifa, Caf to halt football activities in South Africa

The South African Football Association has revealed it will write a letter to both Fifa and Caf to seek support for their decision to halt all football activities in South Africa.

This was confirmed by Safa president Dr. Danny Jordaan when addressing the media in Nasrec, Johannesburg on Wednesday.

Earlier this week, Safa called for the suspension or postponement of fixtures due to the coronavirus outbreak, and this was observed by the PSL who suspended midweek and weekend matches across all competitions.
