PSL Set To Boycott SAFA Congress This Weekend!

PSL Set To Boycott SAFA Congress This Weekend! The association has distanced themselves with events set to occur.

The PSL Executive Committee had their monthly meeting yesterday, one week earlier because of a public holiday next weekend. They announced that they would be boycotting the SAFA Congress set to take place on Sunday.

The Executive Committee is comprised of the chairmen and women of PSL teams, lead by Dr Irvin Khoza. They all unanimously agreed not to participate in anything of that nature.

“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.” The PSL announced in a 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.”

The association did not reveal the reasons behind their decision. PSL Set To Boycott SAFA Congress This Weekend!
