Milford FC's Nedbank Cup hopes are on hold as the uncertainty surrounding Royal AM's participation casts a shadow over their upcoming match. Milford, a standout team from the Motsepe Foundation Championship, could face expulsion if the PSL doesn't resolve Royal AM's financial troubles.
Milford FC, a team competing in the Motsepe Foundation Championship , is facing uncertainty regarding their upcoming Nedbank Cup match due to the ongoing issues surrounding Royal AM's participation status. Last season, Milford made headlines by defeating Kaizer Chiefs in the previous round of the Ke Yona competition. However, their hopes for a repeat performance are clouded by Royal AM's financial troubles, which led to their suspension from all PSL competitions.
The Pietermaritzburg-based club has been inactive since a 3-1 loss to TS Galaxy on December 29th, leaving their future in the top flight of South African football hanging in the balance. Reports suggest Royal AM could face expulsion if they fail to demonstrate financial stability for the remainder of the season. As the Nedbank Cup's round of 16 fixtures kick off this week, the PSL's decision regarding Royal AM's status remains a key point of interest. This uncertainty has placed Milford in a difficult position, as they are unaware of their next opponent. The winner of the Milford-Royal AM clash is scheduled to face 2023 Nedbank Cup finalists Sekhukhune in the next round.Milford's chairman, Dr. Xanti Pupuma, expressed the club's frustration over the lack of clarity regarding their fixture. He revealed that despite the round of 16 approaching, they have yet to receive any communication about their opponent or the confirmation of the game. The club is attempting to keep their players motivated and focused, preparing for any potential scenario. Milford's predicament is further complicated by their league campaign, where they currently hold a fourth-place position and are vying for promotion. With the possibility of a rescheduled fixture or even facing Royal AM before meeting Sekhukhune, Milford needs to carefully prioritize their commitments
