Association Football in South Africa (commonly referred to as soccer or diski ), is the country's most popular participation sport, and is especially popular among the Black population. The governing body is the South African Football Association. The county's top league is the PSL, while the main cup competitions are the MTN 8, the Telkom Knockout, the Telkom Charity Cup and the Nedbank Cup.

South Africa was suspended by FIFA from 1961 to 1992 due to the government's apartheid policies, banning the country from international competition (including the World Cup), and severely stunting the growth of the domestic game. Since the integration of the country, it has developed the most sophisticated professional football structure in Africa, and has been selected as the host nation for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
