First Sasol League provincial visit of 2021 a success
21 May 2021 – Sasol has concluded a successful provincial visit, which included live streaming two Sasol League matches as well as a workshop for local coaches.
Bloemfontein in the Free State was the first stop.
This was also the first face-to-face activity for the Sasol League since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.

So this gathering was very important and serves the purpose of what we want to do for women’s football,” said Dean Somerset – Manager: Group Brand & Sponsorships at Sasol.
