'It’s a very difficult situation to comment on, my brother. I have no idea how we are going to resolve this one,' say some coaches. Safa has a massive headache – what to do with the 498 games remaining to conclude the ABC Motsepe League season.
With the PSL having restarted its programme yesterday with the Nedbank Cup semifinals, amateur football remains suspended under national lockdown level 3 regulations. And it is unlikely that the second division clubs will complete their campaign in time for the start of the next season.
It’s a very difficult situation to comment on, my brother. I have no idea how we are going to resolve this one.A tough decision lies ahead for Safa and the PSL regarding the two promotion spots in the NFD that must be filled by Motsepe League teams. Some solutions proposed by club officials City Press spoke to include automatically promoting the two teams with the most points, cancelling the season or coming to an agreement with the PSL to promote two teams later in the year.
“As the PSL, we have made the two slots for teams from the ABC Motsepe League. It is not for us to make any announcements about what will happen because we have done our constitutional requirements. I know that there is an effort being made for two teams to join us in the new season,” Khoza said. Safa’s Mzwandile Maforvane, who has been tasked with overseeing the return of amateur football, said they were still waiting for the green light from government for the ABC Motsepe League to return.“We do have a plan for the return of the ABC Motsepe League games. As you know, we have to follow the correct procedures in terms of getting approval from government. But the plan is for teams to return to training in the coming two weeks,” said Maforvane.
