The Premier Soccer League (PSL) is set to be forced to abandon the tradition of having the last two rounds of fixtures played at the same time given that Orlando Pirates are on the verge of reaching the Caf Confederation Cup final.
Pirates' season now seems likely to have to be extended beyond the DStv Premiership's May 21 finish, and this has a knock-on effect in that Bucs' remaining league opponents will also compete the campaign late.
If Pirates reach the May 22 Confederation Cup final at a venue still to be announced, it gets even more complicated as their last match of the season in the Premiership's final round on Saturday May 21 against SuperSport United would also have to be rescheduled. “We have already communicated to the affected clubs because it is not only Pirates who are affected — Royal AM, Maritzburg United and SuperSport United are also affected,” Mpfuni said.
