This comes as Broos was denied access to the past weekend’s PSL game between Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns at the Orlando Stadium.

Broos and his technical team were fully accredited and wanted to use the game which Downs won 2-0 to make decision on which players to retain for the upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Ethiopia.

The 69-year-old coach from Belgium was left upset by the way he was treated.

“I have to mention I am upset. We would have liked to see the game between Pirates and Sundowns, but they did not let us go in the stadium.

“We couldn't enter at 3pm and we had accreditation. I am trying to understand, these are coaches of the national team, and they wouldn't allow us into the stadium to see a game of their team.

“Most surprising is that the chairman of the team, Irvin Khoza, is the vice-president of SAFA.”

In a brief statement the PSL apologised as indicated that the incident is being investigated.

"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 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."
