The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has announced that there will be no trophy handover for the Motsepe Foundation Championship winner this Sunday.

This decision is due to several unresolved cases within the Motsepe Foundation Championship.

Durban City is scheduled to appear before the PSL’s Disciplinary Committee (DC) regarding the eligibility of Saziso Magawana, the player at the center of the issue between City and the PSL.

Consequently, even if Durban City wins their final game against Cape Town Spurs on Sunday, the league will not present them with the trophy.

“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,” the PSL statement read.

“Unfortunately, certain matters referred by Member Clubs in the division to the Prosecutor and/or disciplinary bodies have not yet been finalized.

“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 finalized as expeditiously as possible and will keep Member Clubs informed.”

Despite the PSL’s announcement, Durban City maintains that they have acted correctly regarding the player’s registration.

The outcome of the PSL’s Disciplinary Committee proceedings remains to be seen.
