Danny Jordaan Labelled a Clown by Supporters After Posing With Banyana Players

• Danny Jordaan was invited to the opening game of the FIFA Women's World Cup
• SAFA president Jordaan will be in attendance when Banyana Banyana take on Sweden
• Supporters called Jordaan a hypocrite after he was spotted posing with Banyana stars

Banyana Banyana are gearing up to take on Sweden in their opening game of the FIFA Women’s World Cup and will have a special guest in attendance.

South African Football Association president Danny Jordaan is in New Zealand to watch the side play, but not everyone is happy about that.

SAFA and the women’s national have been embroiled in a very public spat before the start of the tournament, and fans haven’t forgiven the association for it.

As noted by Sunday World, Jordaan was invited to the t as New Zealand took on Norway. He was also there to try talking to decision-makers as South Africa hopes to host the 2027 World Cup tournament.

Following the opening fixture, Jordaan joined the Banyana camp, where he plans to watch the South African side kick off their tournament against the number-three-ranked Sweden team.

SAFA then shared a photo of the president with coach Desiree Ellis and a few Banyana stars, saying he was ready to support the side.

Supporters have ripped into the post, saying Banyana would have preferred support in the form of the money promised to them.

Here's how social media responded to the post.

@TshamiPhaswana:

“Supporting them by stealing the money donated by Motsepe foundation and the money that FIFA is giving the ladies.”

@KgaoManoko:

“He must give them their money. That is the support they'll appreciate.”

@TenTenDidiza:

“Bad luck for our girls.”

@Lukes77759454:

“Hypocrite, he needs to step down ASAP.”

@PhumelelaE:

“Support? And DJ? In one sentence, aowa.”

@MphoNtabanyane_”

“Mxm, what a clown.”

The South African national team are due to compete in their opening World Cup fixture in just over a week, but details of more drama with SAFA have since made the news.

The South African Football Players’ Union (SAFPU) has now claimed that SAFA’s offer is short of what was initially agreed upon.
