The Eswatini Football Association (EFA) and the entire football community in Eswatini are deeplysaddened to learn of the untimely passing of Mr. Johannes “Ace” Siboza. A dedicated football administrator and player, Mr. Siboza made significant contributions to the sport throughout his career.

He served as a member of the EFA Executive Committee, Chairperson of the Manzini Regional Football Association (MRFA), Secretary of the MRFA, and was involved in various committees within the EFA. Additionally, he served on the Competitions Committee of the Council of Southern African Football Associations (COSAFA).

The loss of Mr. Johannes “Ace” Siboza is profoundly felt within the football federation. His passion for the game, both as an administrator and a player, was unmatched, demonstrating his commitment to the beautiful game. His extensive experience and knowledge in football administration and development will be sorely missed.

As it is written in Psalm 34:18, “The Lord is near to the broken-hearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” The EFA stands in solidarity with all those mourning the loss of Mr. Johannes Siboza, affectionately known as “Ace,” and wishes comfort to everyone affected by this tragedy.

May his soul rest in peace.
