Kaizer Chiefs are proud to announce that Marketing and Commercial Director, Jessica Motaung, has been appointed to FIFA’s Men’s Football Stakeholders Committee. Her tenure will span four years, commencing this year and concluding in 2029. The appointment was officially announced during the 47^th CAF Ordinary General Assembly held in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, on Monday, 6 October.

“This is yet another well-deserved recognition for Jessica, acknowledging her dedication, expertise, and impactful contributions to South African and African football as a whole,” says Executive Chairman, Dr. Kaizer Motaung.

“It is a proud moment for us as an organisation to see her representing Kaizer Chiefs, South Africa and Africa at the highest level of global football. We will continue to support her wholeheartedly as she shares her remarkable talents with the world. We know she is strong and will deliver the results for the committee,” he adds.

Jessica expressed her gratitude to the Chairman, and Kaizer Chiefs, for their unwavering support over the years. “I am excited about this journey and hope to continue learning and sharing my experiences with the continent, ACA and South African football in general,” she says, “It is also important to thank the PSL, led by Dr. Irvin Khoza; SAFA under Dr. Danny Jordaan’s tutelage; African Clubs Association under the chairmanship of Eng. Hersi Said and the continental football body, CAF, led by Dr. Patrice Motsepe, who has turned the organisation into the thriving entity we have today.”

Jessica’s rise in African football started with her appointment by CAF to the Women’s Football Standing Committee in 2022. This was followed by her appointment as Deputy Chairperson of CAF’s Africa Clubs Association (ACA) two years ago, a role she continues to fulfil with distinction.

We wish you the very best, Jessica, as you continue to make us proud as Amakhosi.
