Grassroot Soccer is an adolescent health non-profit that uses football to deliver health education, with operations in South Africa.
Check registration before donating. A registered non-profit has an NPO number issued by the Department of Social Development, and a section 18A receipt for a tax deduction requires separate SARS approval.
Programmes working with children require staff to be screened. Anyone working with children must be checked against the National Child Protection Register, and a reputable organisation will say so when asked.
This page covers how to contact Grassroot Soccer in South Africa. The details below were taken from the official Grassroot Soccer contact page rather than from any third-party directory.
ContactDetails.co.za is an independent directory. We are not Grassroot Soccer and cannot act on your behalf. Everything on this page is a routing aid so you reach the right official channel quickly.
Grassroot Soccer contact numbers
We could not verify a contact number for Grassroot Soccer. Its website at grassrootsoccer.org blocks automated access, so we could not read its contact page when we checked on 23 August 2026. The site works normally in a browser.
We have deliberately not published a number here. An unverified number is worse than none: it sends people to whoever happens to answer it, which is exactly the mechanism behind contact-detail scams.
Self-service options before you call
- Check the official site at grassrootsoccer.org, which carries the current contact details and any online enquiry form.
- Calling outside peak times. Monday mornings and the hour after 17:00 are usually the worst for South African contact centres.
What to have ready before you call
- A clear one line summary of what you need resolved.
- Your account, order or reference number if you already have one.
- The identity document or account holder details, since most South African providers verify who you are before discussing an account.
- Dates, amounts and any error message exactly as it appeared.
- A pen and paper for the reference number. Ask for one every time, because without it a follow up call starts from nothing.
Giving to an organisation safely
- A registered non-profit has an NPO number issued by the Department of Social Development, and it should be able to give it to you on request.
- A section 18A receipt for a tax deduction requires separate SARS approval, and the receipt must carry the approval number. Not every registered non-profit has it.
- Ask what proportion of a donation reaches the work. Registered organisations keep financial records and submit annual reports, and a reasonable answer is available.
- Pay into a business account in the registered name, never a personal one, and never in response to an unsolicited call or message.
- Organisations working with children must screen their staff against the National Child Protection Register. A reputable organisation says so when asked.
Where an organisation cannot produce an NPO number or a registered bank account in its own name, that is the answer. Registered non-profits are listed with the Department of Social Development.
Complaints and escalation
If a first call does not resolve the matter, escalate through the organisation’s own office, in writing. Where someone is in immediate danger that is an emergency, and the South African Police Service on 10111 is the first call.
Keep a short written log of each contact: the date, the channel you used, the name of the agent and the reference number. Most non-profit complaint processes ask for exactly that history, and having it ready is usually the difference between a fast resolution and starting over.
Avoiding fake Grassroot Soccer contact numbers
Contact details for well known South African brands are a common target for impersonation. Numbers that look official appear in search ads, social media replies and cloned websites, and the person answering is not Grassroot Soccer.
- Reach Grassroot Soccer through the official site at grassrootsoccer.org rather than through a number in a search advert or a social media reply.
- Grassroot Soccer will never ask you for your full card number, PIN, CVV, online banking password or a one time PIN. Nobody legitimate needs those to help you.
- Treat any caller who creates urgency, asks you to install remote access software, or asks you to move money to a safe account as fraudulent, and end the call.
- If you are unsure whether a call was genuine, hang up and dial the official number yourself rather than calling back a number the caller gave you.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Grassroot Soccer contact number?
We do not publish one, because we could not confirm a number on an official source. Numbers do circulate on directory sites, and we do not republish those.
How do I know a Grassroot Soccer number is genuine?
Check it against the official site at grassrootsoccer.org. A number that only appears in a search advert, a social media reply or a third-party directory should not be trusted for anything involving your account, your money or your identity document.
What should I do if nobody resolves my query?
Ask for the complaint reference and the escalation path on your first call, then follow the escalation route described above. Keep the dates, agent names and reference numbers, because every formal complaint process will ask for them.
Can ContactDetails.co.za resolve this for me?
No. We are an independent directory, not Grassroot Soccer, and we have no access to your account. Everything here is a routing aid so that you reach the correct official channel with the right information in hand.
Is there a cost to calling these numbers?
South African 0860 and 0861 numbers are charged at a share-call or standard rate depending on your provider, and 0800 numbers are toll free from a landline. Calls from a mobile are billed at your own operator’s rate, so check your plan if cost matters.
