The club’s vision is to build a sustainable football pathway for the region, and to be a catalyst for social upliftment, according to SFC CEO Rob Benadie. Both SFC and SU hope that Stellenbosch will become a hub for female footballers in the country and a platform where they can thrive on and off the field.
