IT mogul and philanthropist Robert Gumede has been appointed to serve in world football governing body Fifa's Foundation advisory board

IT mogul and philanthropist Robert Gumede has been appointed to serve in world football governing body Fifa's Foundation advisory board.

Gumede will serve on the board alongside eminent individuals, including Mauricio Macri, who is currently the Fifa Foundation's executive chairperson. Macri is the former Argentina president and was also the president of that country’s prestigious football team, Boca Juniors FC. The Fifa Foundation was established in 2018. It tackles social issues affecting young people and empowers women and girls to play football and realise their full potential. The foundation also repairs damaged sports infrastructure, supports education through football and mobilises football icons to reach out to millions of people with positive messages.It is humbling for Fifa to have identified and approached me to consider accepting this historic appointment. Fortunately, football is in my DNA.

He also ventured into premium rugby when he broke the race barrier by buying 49% of the then-Afrikander-owned and led major South African rugby club, the Lions. Gumede bought and brought back overseas-based Springbok rugby players and turned the Lions into a major rugby club.
