SIX WOMEN TEAMS GIVE FA ULTIMATUM

 MBABANE – The ongoing impasse between the Women Football Association (WFA) and six aggrieved teams is now stretching to FIFA.

This follows a decision by six aggrieved teams to seek the intervention of the world soccer governing body over their impasse with the incumbent WFA executive committee chaired by Sonnyboy Mabuza. WFA is an affiliate of the National Football Association of Swaziland (NFAS).

The six clubs are; Divas F.C, Siteki Ladies, Shiselweni Roses, Mbekelweni Ladies, Lobamba Highlanders, and Royal Leopard. However, the latter though included in the letter sent to FIFA, had not signed it.

They, among other things, wanted FIFA to intervene in their request to have the elections held on July 16 last year declared null and void on the basis that the election of the executive committee was against the constitution as the 50%+1 quota referred to was flouted.
They also want an investigation being carried out within the structures of the NFAS, with much emphasis on women football issues and/or affairs so as to establish anomalies therein.

The copy of the letter to FIFA, which is addressed to FIFA Secretary General Fatma Samoura and dated March 8, 2018, was also copied to the NFAS and was received last week Thursday.

The teams acknowledged to have been summoned by the NFAS over the matter, but they still felt that it was prudent to pursue the issue with FIFA because they suspected that the meeting would yield nothing.
