The resumption of the sport will kick-off next week Saturday with the Nedbank Cup semi-finals which will be contested in a bio-secure bubble.

At this stage, there is no confirmation where this may be, however, the PSL is meeting later in the week in order to iron out a few remaining issues.

This news was announced on Monday afternoon by the chairman of the PSL, Irvin Khoza.

Following the Nedbank Cup semi-finals, the remaining league teams will have to report to the bio-bubble a day prior to their league fixtures.

During an urgent press conference on Monday, Khoza announced the welcome news.

“This is a historic moment. At this point in time, I can gladly announce that the 8th of August is a definite goal for the Absa Premiership and GladAfrica Championship.

“We are resuming on the 8th of August. The first games will be the Nedbank Cup semi-finals, and the last game will be the Nedbank Cup final.

“It's all systems go.”

The Nedbank Cup semi-finals will see Wits up against Mamelodi Sundowns, followed by Bloemfontein Celtic vs. Baroka FC.

The times and venue for the semi-finals are yet to be confirmed.
