The BFA came under heavy criticism from football pundits and fans after it rejected the game that was supposed to be played in the June FIFA international window. According to a letter circulating on social media platforms, South Africa Football Association (SAFA) had written to the local federation requesting a friendly match on Thursday, June 3.

The fixture was to be played at the Orlando Stadium, Johannesburg with SAFA footing the Zebras’ trip bill.
