How Safa and PSL are discussing the resumption of football - Jordaan

Safa president Danny Jordaan has denied there is a problem between him and Premier Soccer League (PSL) chairman Irvin Khoza due to disagreements on when the suspension of football should be lifted.

Despite sporting activities banned under the South African government’s Level 4 risk-adjusted lockdown, the PSL wants an exemption to resume the season under “stringent coronavirus health and safety regulations.”

But Safa is insisting football should restart during Level 1 where sporting activities qualify to take place.

While avoiding the cancellation of the season, the PSL’s argument is that waiting for Level 1 to be effected could spill beyond July, a situation which could complicate player contracts and play-offs.
