Bafana Bafana raised eyebrows when they took the field with 46664 branding on their jerseys in the match against Brazil last night, but SAFA insists that they did not violate any of FIFA’s rules.

It is well known that FIFA is against any form of branding on players’ jerseys for international matches.

During the tour of Cameroon in 1992, Bafana naively had ‘Castle’ on their jerseys and were reprimanded by world football’s governing body

And when Egypt took on Bafana in December 1998, they played with a branded shirt and also faced an inquest.

“It was a friendly match and everything was cleared before the game kicked off,” SAFA communications director Dominic Chimhavi tells KickOff.com. “Everything we did was above board and no rule was violated.”

KickOff.com also contacted FIFA for their view on the situation, but we are yet to receive a response.
