SETBACK: FAILURE TO QUALIFY AFCON 2012 Lessons Learned • Process failure • Check-list did not include formally studying rules and discussing them • No one person charged with this KPA • Technical failure • All made incorrect assumptions based on earlier CAF communications and did not check them • All made assumptions based on FIFA rules and traditional practice and did not check them • Ambiguities and problems with the Rules not clarified beforehand • Management and Support failure • Need to boost capacity in national team management • Need to involve Legal department in Rules and Regulations briefings • Need to boost training of SAFA Heads of Delegation • CAF Issues • Rules were ambiguously written and published late • Circular received prior to tournament confused matters • Application of rule in this instance led to fundamentally unfair result
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS • Apology to nation by President • Internal disciplinary measures concluded. • Change of Process • Allocation of responsibility for Rules to HOD: National teams. • Process of receiving, checking, work-shopping of Rules in place. • Boost of Management capacity • Employment of Assistant Manager, Senior National Team to be fast-tracked. • Training for Heads of Delegation. • Have formally asked CAF to review and change the rule for the future
