South African Football Association (SAFA) President Kirsten Nematandani is leading a delegation to the FIFA Congress taking place in Mauritius from Wednesday, 29 May 2013.

The SAFA delegation left the country on Tuesday morning (28 May).

They are expected to brief FIFA on the progress around their efforts to combat corruption in the game as well as measures that have been taken to this effect.

SAFA has set up an anti-corruption hotline in a bid to combat corruption on activities related to football.

The efforts have of late yielded some outstanding positive results especially around match officials and the delegation will update the Congress on the fight against corruption into football.

“This is a very important meeting in which we will exchange issues with the rest of the world. We will share our experience and hear of programs other countries are undertaking. From our side, we will have an opportunity to update FIFA on a number of issues,” said Nematandani. 

The delegation is expected back in the country on Saturday, 1 June.
