JOHANNESBURG – Premier Soccer League chairman Irvin Khoza, at a live press conference, confirmed on Monday that the domestic season will resume on August 8, following a four-month complete halt.
It had been weeks since the resumption of the season was up in the air, following the war of words between the South African Football Association and its special member the PSL. This as the two bodies were tasked to speak with one voice by the Minister of Sport Nath Mthethwa. The PSL were keen to resume football on July 18, having followed all the required preparations to the tee. However, the mother body were somewhat of a stumbling block to those aspirations, insisting that football can only resume from the first week of August.
On Monday, however, the PSL finally addressed the elephant in the room, saying that the Nedbank Cup semi-finals will restart the season in two weeks’ time after having received the green light from Safa and the government.
