The ASA License
The ASA (Athletics South Africa) license is a license that is required for athletes who want to participate in officially sanctioned athletics events in South Africa. This license serves as proof that the athlete is registered with Athletics South Africa and is eligible to compete in the specific event. It is mandatory for all athletes, from recreational to professional, who want to compete in official athletics events in South Africa.
