Covid-19: Meet the task team that carries the hopes of South African football

The PSL and Safa appointed six members to oversee the possible return of the most loved sport in the country over the next two weeks

Football is still suspended in South Africa as the country is under lockdown in an effort to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

The South African government has introduced five lockdown levels to at least try and keep the economy afloat, with Level 5 the strictest.

Now, with the country still on Level 4, no football is allowed and both the South African Football Association (Safa) and the Premier Soccer League (PSL) have resolved to form a six-member task team that will deal with all the risks and measures involved for the possible return of top-flight football this season.
