Cape Town - The SA Football Association (SAFA) and Cape Town Stadium operators SAIL/Stadefrance are on the verge of concluding a deal that could see Bafana Bafana play their first international friendly at the stadium.
According to Tuesday's Cape Argus, SAFA chief executive Leslie Sedibe said an announcement was imminent. He said SAFA was negotiating with SAIL/Stadefrance for a possible fixture before the end of the year.
SAFA has been inundated with requests for the national team to play in Cape Town after the Soccer World Cup, but Sedibe said Safa could simply not afford the stadium's high rental fees.
Sedibe said the cost of hiring the Cape Town Stadium was "extremely high", and that SAFA was negotiating for a better price.
SAIL/Stadefrance executive Morne du Plessis confirmed that the operators were in discussions with SAFA.
