Q: Can we play friendlies, take on sponsors or speak to the media?

Under the SAFA Competitions Uniform Rules: Friendlies (Rule 36) No team affiliated to SAFA, or player registered with SAFA, may play in any match other than official SAFA matches without SAFA's prior written permission. Official fixtures won't be postponed for friendlies, and an official fixture can't be turned into a friendly: its result is official and final. Sponsors (Rules 29 and 35) Club sponsor advertising on kit needs written permission from SAFA's Competitions Committee, and must not conflict with the competition or bring SAFA or its sponsors into disrepute. Front-of-shirt sponsors can't be tobacco or alcohol companies. Advertising on shorts or socks also needs SAFA's written approval. Teams, officials and players may not contact the competition sponsor directly without the SAFA CEO's prior written permission. Media (Rules 24 and 38) Clubs must include in agreements with officials and players an undertaking to get SAFA's permission before discussing SAFA's policies with the media. Statements that bring SAFA, its sponsors or the competitions into disrepute are misconduct. If such a statement is reported, the person has 5 days to confirm or deny it, and a denial must be made by affidavit.
