WHAT WAS REPORTED
After his re-election as South African Football Association president on 12 September, Danny Jordaan publicly backed Gianni Infantino. SABC Sport, TimesLIVE and Daily Maverick reported the remarks following the congress in Midrand.
HIS RESERVATIONS AND THE LIMIT
Jordaan defended private investment in football while criticising the lack of consultation and agreement with FIFA members. This records his reported public position. The articles reviewed do not supply a formal SAFA board resolution or nomination document for the 2027 FIFA election. No institutional tracker entry is inferred from these remarks.
