Safa boss Jordaan 'cannot tell' when fans will return to stadiums for PSL games

Safa president Danny Jordaan says he “cannot tell” when football fans can be allowed to start attending matches due to the coronavirus pandemic second wave which has hit South Africa.

Supporters last watched football inside stadiums in March 2020 just before stricter lockdown measures were implemented, leading to the suspension of sporting activities.

When football was allowed to resume in July, conditions were attached that no spectators are allowed inside venues and since then, Premier Soccer League matches are being played behind closed doors.
