The South African Football Association National Executive Committee on Saturday unanimously endorsed businessman Tokyo Sexwale as their candidate for the FIFA presidency.

The decision to endorse Sexwale was taken at a Johannesburg hotel after the former Robben Island political prisoner had made a presentation to the Safa NEC.

Elections to replace Joseph ‘Sepp’ Blatter as FIFA President are scheduled to take place on 26 February next year.
