Football.

Basic Info:

Football in Cape Town is governed by the South African Football Association Cape Town, known as Safa Cape Town, which is one of 52 regions that make up the South African Football Association at national level . Based in Athlone Stadium, Safa Cape Town has 33 affiliated Local Football Associations (LFAs) across the Cape Metropole, and has a membership of about 100 000.
