The PSL put out a statement stating that the Department of Sports, Arts & Culture had given the PSL the green-light to resume training on the 23rd of June, however a video conference on Tuesday saw SAFA issue a revised proposal for the league to resume on the 1st of August, due to a lack of match officials.

“The National Soccer League Board of Governors held a virtual meeting today, 14 July 2020, to consider, amongst other things, the resumption of the 2019/20 season.

“The Board of Governors noted that the PSL had received permission from the Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture on 23 June 2020 to resume the 2019/20 season.

“The PSL had complied with the requirements and ready to resume with the 2019/20 season on 18 July 2020, but unable to do so due to the unavailability of match officials.

“The Executive Committee has been mandated to re-engage stakeholders regarding the current status quo.”

This proposal has been accepted by the league.
