Two groups of eight teams, each converging at two venues – in Limpopo and Gauteng – to fast-track the conclusion of the 2019/20 Absa Premiership season, that's the PSL's plan to conclude the season but it needs buy in from Safa and the health department.
Central to the discussions was the health and safety match-day protocol document, which was compiled by a task force that was established by the PSL’s board of governors in March, shortly after the postponement of fixtures in the wake of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic.
According to an insider, the PSL leadership will only make comments after it has submitted its proposal to the national health department and after meeting with Sports, Arts and Culture Minister Nathi Mthethwa this week. What is clear, however, is that the PSL is intent on concluding the season, and clubs are said to have also expressed determination to complete the season, which has been suspended for almost two months owing to Covid-19.
Meanwhile, PSL and Safa are set to meet this week, a sign that the two warring organisations have heeded the call by Mthethwa to approach government “with one voice”.
