CAF delays harm local fixtures, says PSL boss
PSL chairperson Irvin Khoza is perturbed by last-minute postponements that local clubs are facing in the CAF Champions League because this is having a dire consequence on the DStv Premiership programme.
Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs had their matches against clubs from Algeria and Morocco postponed and will be played in neutral venues due to the countries’ strict Covid- 19 regulations when it comes to travellers from South Africa.
The PSL has had to postpone and reschedule their matches to accommodate both clubs who are in the group stages of the CAF Champions League.
The season is already compressed after a late start towards the end of October due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“This is a matter that needs a bit of discussion and debate,” said Khoza, who attended Patrice Motsepe’s CAF presidential elections manifesto event at the Sandton Convention Centre.
“We are hoping that we are going to get answers sooner than later. It is a problem in terms of the congestion of the fixtures, themselves. There were no dates when we restructured the fixtures and it is unfortunate that there was this measure taken, but also the expenses that go to the clubs.”
