Safa CEO Paul reportedly set to take up post in 2022 Fifa World Cup Local Organizing Committee

South African Football Association (Safa)'s acting chief executive officer Russell Paul is reportedly set to resign from his position.

The football administrator was appointed late last year following Dennis Mumble's departure after the latter's contract expired.

Paul has admitted he is open to taking the role permanently.

However, reports including a Facebook breaking news message from SABC journalist Thabiso Mosia, are indicating Paul is on the verge of resigning from his position.

The former head of Safa's Western Cape division, Paul has also been linked with a move to Qatar.

Paul is reportedly set to take up a post in the 2022 Fifa World Cup Local Organizing Committee.
