The Premier Soccer League Executive Committee seems crossed with the South African Football Association and refused to attend the latest workshop by the football mother body.
The PSL released a statement on their website after their monthly meeting held on Thursday.
SAFA are about to host a workshop/Indaba of the Association’s Regional Members on 21 and 22 April 2023, which is to be followed by an Ordinary SAFA Congress on 23 of April, however, the PSL ExCo will not attend due to reasons not mentioned.
Instead the PSL ExCo stated they will urgently try to meet with the Minister of Sports, Arts, and Culture; the President of CAF; and the stakeholders that support professional football.
“The monthly meeting of the Premier Soccer League (PSL) Executive Committee was held today, Thursday the 20th of April 2023, rather than on the last Thursday of the month due to the upcoming celebration of Freedom Day,” read the statement.
“The Executive Committee discussed the agenda circulated by the South African Football Association (SAFA) for a workshop/Indaba of the Association’s Regional Members set for the 21st and 22nd of April 2023 which is to be followed by an Ordinary SAFA Congress on Sunday the 23rd of April 2023.
“The Executive Committee unanimously resolved that the PSL would not attend the workshop/Indaba or the Ordinary SAFA Congress.
“The Executive Committee delegation will seek an urgent audience with the Minister of Sports, Arts, and Culture; the President of CAF; and the stakeholders that support professional football; and then call an extraordinary meeting of the PSL Board of Governors to report on the matter.”
