Coronavirus: Safa resolves PSL football can only return in August

The country's FA has rejected the league's proposed resumption of July 18 and has maintained that competitive matches will only be played next month

The South African Football Association (Safa) has resolved in their Monday's meeting with compliance officers from all the clubs that no football will be played until August 2020.

The PSL had proposed July 18 as the return date for competitive matches in South Africa - and while Dr Irvin Khoza refused to confirm or deny it, he emphasised the importance of having at least six weeks to complete the current campaign.
