Former Safa CEO Tebogo Motlanthe recently made a comeback to football by participating in a four-day training workshop on club licensing. Motlanthe, who left Safa in May, was part of the CAF club licensing workshop in Cairo, Egypt. He expressed his excitement at the unexpected invitation and stated that it showed that his contribution to football was still valued.
Motlanthe, who is a practicing lawyer, shared his enthusiasm about the opportunity to learn about new developments in football and ensure full compliance for clubs in the country. He mentioned that despite leaving Safa, he had not been disconnected from football, as he had been providing legal consultations within the sport. The workshop focused on new regulations on club licensing and how to implement them in football clubs.
At the end of the workshop, successful participants will be required to write an examination, and those who perform well will become instructors. Motlanthe expressed his eagerness to become a CAF club licensing instructor, and if successful, he will join other esteemed individuals in this role. The workshop, which ended recently, brought a breath of fresh air for him.
Motlanthe’s invitation to the CAF headquarters coincides with Safa’s proposed new technical regulations, which are set to be enforced next season. These regulations include new requirements for coaches in local club football, where head coaches in the DStv Premiership must have a CAF A licence and their assistants should hold a CAF B badge. Similar requirements will apply for coaches in the NFD.
Overall, Tebogo Motlanthe’s return to football through his participation in the CAF club licensing workshop has garnered attention and highlighted the ongoing changes and developments within South African football. His enthusiasm for learning and contributing to the sport is evident in his eagerness to become a CAF club licensing instructor and continue to make a positive impact in football.
