Football first arrived in South Africa through colonialism in the late nineteenth century, as the game was popular among British soldiers. From the earliest days of the sport in South Africa until the end of apartheid, organised football was affected by the country’s system of racial segregation. The all-white Football Association of South Africa (FASA), was formed in 1892, while the South African Indian Football Association (SAIFA). South Africa was one of four African nations to attend FIFA’s 1953 congress, at which the four demanded, and won, representation on the FIFA executive committee.
At the second CAF conference in 1958 South Africa were formally expelled from CAF. The all-white (FASA) were admitted to FIFA in the same year, but in August 1960 it was given an ultimatum of one year to fall in line with the non-discriminatory regulations of FIFA. Till now South Africa has never win any World Cup title, but now in 2010 the South Africa as the hosting countary for the World Cup is keen to get as close as possible towards the World Cup.
