Paul reflects on giving back as Qatar beckons

“If there’s something that sits in the in-tray that I feel I personally didn’t achieve, it is not being able to get out to the regions enough.”

He was speaking shortly after Safa announced that he had been offered the post of chief operating officer of the Qatar 2022 Fifa World Cup organising committee. “South Africa hosting the tournament will be a major achievement as it will be a huge boost for women’s football locally, especially with the added hope that corporates will jump in with sponsorship. We also want to be counted among those few nations that have hosted the men’s and women’s World Cup.”

I am just an individual who likes to give back and make a contribution to the game at every level. I play hard, but at the same time I work very hard. But it’s not about me as an individual, it’s about a teamAmong his highlights, Paul listed these: helping Safa to regain the confidence of sponsors; concluding the broadcast deal with the SABC; launching the national women’s league; and seeing all the national teams qualify for their respective major tournaments.
