The Safa elective congress sees incumbent Danny Jordaan facing challenger Sandile Zungu in a secret ballot, with Jordaan holding a strong lead due to backing from key regions like KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, and Limpopo, despite divisions in Northern Cape and Western Cape.

Sandile Zungu has alleged unfair candidate disqualifications, regional interference and possible vote-buying ahead of the SAFA presidential election on 12 September 2026.
