14 November 2018 – Two expert members of the FIFA’s Member Association Division have concluded a successful visit to South Africa. They were here to review and provide guidance and advice on SAFA’s MYSAFA initiative.
MYSAFA is the platform used by SAFA structures to register players and to administer fixtures and leagues. To date, SAFA has registered over 170,000 players on MYSAFA. Each registered player receives a FIFA Connect ID number that can be used to facilitate international transfers.
SAFA has issued more Connect ID numbers than any other country in Africa.
While in South Africa the delegation met with the SAFA president, acting CEO, CFO, head of the Legacy Trust and the contractors developing and deploying MySAFA.
The guidance and insight from the FIFA team ensure that SAFA continues to follow global trends.

Phelindaba Local Football Association is one of the pioneering association to use the MySAFA platform to register players and officials. The association is currently in the process of considering making use of the very same MySAFA for the administration and publishing of its fixtures, match results and log tables. It only makes sense as it will reduce the effort of registering players in two systems, that is, on the MySAFA system, and on the LeagueRepublic System.
LeagueRepublic has been extremely helpful in the last two years. However, it is plagued with adverts, for which to remove them, there is a cost of up to R3,700.00 per annum. MySAFA is already paid for by SAFA, and does not have adverts. MySAFA is however not currently as efficient as LeagueRepublic, however, PLFA will do we in supporting the initiative to improving the MySAFA System. After all, it is a proudly South African product.
