PSL ‘flexible’ on finishing SA Premiership by June 30

As the SA Premiership season remains suspended for the foreseeable future, the Premier Soccer League (PSL) will be open to finishing the season after June 30.

The PSL suspended its leagues due to the spread of Covid-19, with reported infections rising to 150 in SA on Thursday.

“Whilst our intention is to complete the season by no later than 30th June 2020, because of the existing uncertainties in our country we shall remain flexible,” said the PSL in a statement on Thursday.

“The Board of Governors has mandated the Executive Committee and the appointed Task Team to take all possible measures to ensure that the NSL’s leagues resume in compliance with the directives issued by the State President with the support and alignment of the National Government.

“This follows the meeting that was held with the Minister of Sports, Arts & Culture and further consultations held at this Board of Governors meeting with the Ministries of Health and the SA Police Service.”
