The South African Football Association (Safa) has received a response from Fifa advising them that they have the powers to extend the date of completion of the 2019-20 PSL season.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Safa said the season can be extended in terms of the Transfer Management System (TMS).
This means the suspended season can go beyond the August 31 deadline set by the PSL.
