About Us




Official Partners
These partners are not only financial contributors — they are partners in purpose, helping us build a sustainable foundation for women’s football development across South Africa.
Honoring the power
of Women
Decades ago, brave women marched to the Union Buildings in Pretoria, standing together for freedom, equality, and recognition.
Their courage paved the way for generations of women to lead, inspire, and succeed.
The Women’s Football Empowerment Cup carries that same legacy — using football as a platform for social transformation, leadership, and empowerment.
We extend heartfelt appreciation to SAFA National President, Dr. Danny Jordaan, for his leadership in promoting women’s football and expanding opportunities for development across provinces.
Through his support, and the guidance of Provincial President Tankiso Modipa, this initiative continues to grow in reach and impact across all regions.
