Safa urges CAF to refund SA clubs
Safa is not resting on its laurels but is pursuing the matter relating to the reimbursement of Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns for the costs the clubs incurred when their trips to Morocco and Algeria, respectively, for CAF Champions League group stage assignments were cancelled last month.
The PSL clubs are said to have made losses in the region of R1-million each after the north African clubs Wydad Casablanca and CR Belouizdad informed the SA clubs on the 11th hour that they were barred from entering their countries due to Covid-19 restrictions.
This was after Amakhosi and Masandawana had made the necessary travel arrangements, however, they were denied visas and the two fixtures had to be rescheduled, disrupting the PSL fixture programme in the process.
The matches were later played at neutral venues, however, Chiefs and Sundowns had already booked and paid for accommodation, flights, as well as made the necessary travelling arrangements, including the compulsory Covid-19 tests for about 40 people in the travelling party.
