Transformation in SA Football Transformation of South African football is a process of assessment, implementation, re-evaluation and reinvention. Transformation, in its broadest context, must be tackled on several fronts and is being implemented accordingly:
Portfolio Committee Q#2 Preparation and Performance of the National Teams for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games Click to edit Master title style Click to edit Master text styles Second level Third level Fourth level Fifth level Ms Anastasia TSICHLAS Chair – Technical Committee
Ambition – Banyana Banyana The team qualified to play in the 2016 Rio Olympic Games in November 2015 • Preparations commenced in 3 blocks: • Block 1. November 2015 – March 2016 (Cyprus Cup 2016) • Block 2. March 2016 – End April 2016 (AWC Qualification) • Block 3. May 2016 – August 2016 (Olympics Rio 2016) • Aim at the Olympic Games: (After the draw we set our precise target) • Surviving the Group Stage! • Playing the Quarter Final • Aim: Going to Semi-Final • BRONZE
Periodisation Programme • Football Tactical Teambuilding Process / 3 blocks: • 1. November 2015 – Cameroon 2016: Individual growth • Every player needs today be better than yesterday. Every day again. Lot’s of individual video sessions / coaching related on individual understanding of tasks within the different playing systems • 2. March – April 2016: AWC Qualification • This month was isolated towards getting ready to play to win. We had to qualify, so the sessions were related to direct preparation for international qualification matches. Choice of strategy, dots on the I regarding our playing strategy. • 3. May – Olympic Games: Team Preparation Olympic Games • Refining our strategy, preparing our playing strategies, team organisations, identifying the best balance in our team / Individual specifics + free kicks + penalty kicks / etc.
Periodisation Programme (cont) • Friendly/Qualification Games: • 25 March: Cameroon 0-2 SA / 28 March: Cameroon 2-2 SA (Friendlies) • 9th April: Botswana 0-2 SA / 12th April: SA 3-0 Botswana (Qualification AWC2016) • 15th May: SA 1-0 Zimbabwe (Friendly) • 4th June: The Netherlands 1-0 SA / 7th June: The Netherlands 2-0 SA (Friendlies) • 9th July: USA 1-0 SA (Friendly) • 28th July: SA 1-4 New Zealand (Friendly) • By identifying these blocks we could offer clear planning of our activities. We have built up step-by-step, the resistance of the opponents, with the peak 3 weeks before the first game and the last friendly against an opponent whom we can match our strength. The Football Conditioning program was used to exercise what we had learned in the phase before that. Mainly the “6 sec. rule to get the ball back” and “scoring” is continuously emphasized in the Football Conditioning sessions 7vs7- 4vs4 as well as in the Football Tactical Sessions.
Head Coach’s Assessment • Praise has come from all over the world, including the executive and professionals of FIFA and the international media. Also, the reactions from South Africa were predominantly very positive. • • Key reaction was that we have emitted a positive fighting spirit and that we have a unique team, that adds something to the international scene of top women’s football. • • Players have developed to competitors at the highest level. • • With a bit of luck and scoring capacity, BanyanaBanyana would have made the quarter finals and who knows further. If the gaps in the program had been avoided, it would have brought us just that bit of greater explosivity necessary to be there first. At the end it was just about a few centimeters. The answer will never be known. • • Experience of top (tournament) football is a necessity to be able to turn these kind of games into positive results. • • Concern is continuity of the programs: • 1. A professional league is a MUST to be able to grow further. All top nations have a professional league. • 2. Contracts for players abroad brings higher level experience to the team. • 3. Talented players must be already at a certain level the moment they enter the squad, otherwise you can start all over again every time a new player enters the team.
Men’s Olympic Team • Our Olympic Team qualified for the 2016 Rio Olympic Football Tournament after successfully defeating their counterparts, Senegal, to claim third spot in the 8 Nations African Olympic Qualifying Tournament held in Senegal from 28 November – 12 December 2015. • The top three finishers of the African continent, namely, Nigeria, Algeria and South Africa, respectively, qualified for the 2016 Rio Olympic Football Tournament hosted in Brazil in August 2016. • The Men’s Olympic Team qualified for the Olympic Games for the first time in 15 years, following attempts in 2004, 2008 and 2012. • The last time South Africa qualified, was for the Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia in the year 2000.

CGE Recommendations General Recommendations • In terms of Section 20 of the Employment Equity Act, an organization employing 50 or more people is required to comply. Therefore, SAFA should take the necessary steps to ensure compliance with Employment Equity legislation and move towards a 50/50 quota before the new Women’s Empowerment and Gender Equality legislation comes into effect. There is an obligation on SAFA’s leadership to put quotas in place to ensure transformation towards women’s equal representation in its staffing, management and leadership structures. THIS WAS RECTIFIED • SAFA needs to take its obligations to promote women’s football seriously, and pursue sponsorship to promote and advance women’s football. It should not be necessary to take from the men’s football team to provide for the Women’s football team. The Commission called on SAFA to find ways of providing adequately for women’s football so that the media will follow, and ensure necessary profiling and securing of sponsorship. THIS IS DONE, BUT SPONSORSHIP IS STILL A CHALLENGE FOR ALL TEAMS
CGE Recommendations • SAFA’s sexual harassment policy appears to be deficient. One reported case in five years in the South African context is not credible. It was proposed that an investigation and audit be carried out by the SAFA CEO and that an appropriate mechanism be put in place and publicized. MEMBERS HAVE BEEN ENGAGED. • There should be adoption of sexual harassment policies and procedures that are in line with international human rights statutes and South African legislation. WE AWAIT FEEDBACK FROM CGE RE OUR SEXUAL HARRASSMENT POLICIES. • The Women’s Football Committee should comprise of men and women. It is pointless to have a committee that consists only of women who do not have the authority and opportunity to take decisions and influence processes. THIS IS CURRENTLY THE CASE. • Profiling Banyana Banyana should become a priority. THIS HAS BEEN DONE. • The Commission was asked to follow up and ensure that the R20 million SAFA claims to have pledged to Banyana Banyana for the Olympics, is indeed spent on Banyana Banyana. • The Commission was also asked whether it could find a way to track SAFA’s attempts to raise sponsorship for women’s football. MEETINGS HAVE TAKEN PLACE WITH CGE. • Programmes are necessary to change stereotypes and attitudes. SAFA will need to source funding for programmes to this end, or seek partnerships with the Department of Basic Education. WE ARE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH DBE.
CGE Recommendations • It is evident that SAWFA does exist. SAFA was urged to meet with the structure within the next three months to take the process forward. SAWFA was asked to cooperate with this process. It was noted that feedback to the Commission should come out of this process. WE HAVE A FUNDAMENTAL DISAGREEMENT WITH THE CGE, BUT HAVE FINALLY RESOLVED ON THE WAY FORWARD. • There are expectations from society that gender is mainstreamed into SAFA’s work and to this end the Association needs a clear strategic direction, plans and targets in its policy and programmes. THIS WILL BE DEMONSTRATED IN THIS PRESENTATION.
