PSL statement on Motsepe Foundation Championship

It has been the practice of the National Soccer League over the past few years to hand the Motsepe Foundation Championship Cup trophy to the team at the top of the division standings after the last match of the season.

Unfortunately, certain matters referred to by member clubs in the division to the prosecutor and/or disciplinary bodies have not yet been finalised.

It is not clear to the NSL how, and to what extent, these matters may impact the final standings in the division.

The league has decided to delay the Cup handover while these matters are being addressed by the appropriate decision-makers.

The NSL will use its best endeavours, to the extent permissible under the NSL handbook, to ensure these matters are finalised as expeditiously as possible and will keep member clubs informed
