Coronavirus: Safa sets two conditions for the return of PSL football

The South African Football Association (Safa) has set two conditions which will make it possible for the return of all football activities in South Africa.

In a statement released on Tuesday, Safa said football can only resume if there is a declaration from the government to do so, and if domestic flights are in full operation.

As things stand, the country is in a six-week lockdown which is expected to go on until April 30, in an attempt to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
