EFA WARNS AGAINST RUSHING TO COURTS

MBABANE – The Eswatini Football Association (EFA) chief executive officer has empowered the PLE Executive Committee (ExCo) members on the use of appropriate football conflict resolution structures.

The Premier League of Eswatini (PLE) held a corporate governance workshop in collaboration with the local football governing body over the past weekend. EFA’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Frederick Mngometulu, was featured in a session on corporate governance and compliance in football. According to the PLE, Mngometulu provided key insights into the operational and governance aspects of football. “The CEO emphasised the importance of unity among the ExCo members and the broader PLE staff. He stressed that a cohesive and collaborative team is essential for the league to achieve its objectives and maintain credibility within the football ecosystem,” the organisation stated in its report on the workshop.

In addressing grievance resolution, Mngometulu explained the appropriate FIFA structures that teams should follow when disputes arise. He cautioned against resorting to government courts for football-related matters, reinforcing the importance of adhering to established football governance protocols. It was further noted that a major portion of the CEO’s presentation was dedicated to explaining the statutes that govern football, both locally and internationally, and their implications for the PLE. Mngometulu stressed the importance of corporate governance principles, stressing that compliance with these principles is vital for maintaining transparency, accountability and operational efficiency within the league. Mngomezulu’s warning comes at a time when there is a marathon relegation battle involving Manzini Wanderers, which is pending finalisation at the Supreme Court.
