EnglishWhat is TeamSA and what can visitors find on teamsa.co.za?
Updated
TeamSA (teamsa.co.za) is the official home of Team South Africa, operated in connection with SASCOC — the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee. The site is built for anyone who wants official news about South Africa's national teams, information on multi-sport games, or resources aimed at athletes themselves. If you are looking for a fan news hub, an athlete support portal, or the governing body behind Team SA, this single site covers all three.
Who runs the site
SASCOC is the controlling body for sport in South Africa and is responsible for preparing and delivering Team South Africa at multi-sport international games. According to the site, its main business is to promote and develop a strategic framework for high-performance sport as defined in the National Sport Recreation Act 110 of 1998 (as amended by the National Sport and Recreation Amendment Act, No 18 of 2007).
The games SASCOC names as its scope include:
- Olympic Games
- Paralympic Games
- Commonwealth Games
- World Games
- Africa Games
The site also lists Funders and Partners, including Paralympic Partners, and a Board with Commissions.
