Bailey, together with his deputy presidents, Linda Pistoli, Nomonde Ndyoko and Andrew Bothman, will stand unopposed at Sunday’s elective congress at the University of the Western Cape.

The only contested position will be that of treasurer, with either Marwaan van Reenen or Sadick Williams set to replace Wayne Weitz, who has elected not to seek another term.

Bailey, a veteran sports administrator, said his priority for a third term would be to complete what he described as “unfinished business’, while further strengthening development structures across the metro, with a renewed and sharper focus on women’s football.
