PSL Apologises to SAFA For Denying Hugo Broos Stadium Access!

PSL Apologises to SAFA For Denying Hugo Broos Stadium Access! This was followed an altercation at the Orlando Stadium this weekend.

Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos was stopped from entering the Orlando Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The PSL has since apologised to SAFA for the hiccup.

Broos was attempting to watch Orlando Pirates against Mamelodi Sundowns at the Orlando Stadium on Saturday. This is after both associations had agreed to this.

They had agreed that the national team head coach would watch as many local games as possible as he continues to acquaint himself with the PSL.

However, he was denied entry into the Orlando Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

“The Premier Soccer League today learned of an unfortunate incident in which the South African senior national team head coach was denied access to the DStv Premiership match between Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday, 25 September 2021.” The PSL said in their apology statement.

“The incident is highly regrettable, and the League has apologised unreservedly to the South African Football Association for the unfortunate occurrence.

“The PSL immediately investigated the matter and established that the confusion was caused by the League’s failure to inform the host club about the head coach’s attendance as per protocol.

“Over the past two months, an arrangement has been in place between the League and SAFA to allow the head coach to attend matches whenever he needs to, while continuing to ensure compliance.

“The arrangement has functioned well until thus far.

“On this occasion, the League regrettably erred and will ensure that this does not occur again.” PSL Apologises to SAFA For Denying Hugo Broos Stadium Access!
