“We trust that the postponement will allow the national team to prepare for the crucial match without disruptions,” said the league’s chief executive officer Kennedy Ndebele in a brief communiqué yesterday.
This means soccer fans will endure another weekend without Premiership action after the league postponed the games last week due to the Benjani Mwaruwari Testimonial match at the National Sports Stadium last Saturday.
With the latest postponement, the league will be faced with a huge fixture congestion as the national team will be engaged for the next three weeks with fixtures against Guinea and Mozambique for the World Cup qualifier and the return Nations Cup qualifier against Burundi.
There will also be the regional Cosafa Senior Men’s Challenge which kicks off in July and runs for almost a month.
On the local scene, there is the upcoming BancABC Sup8r Cup games, which according to Ndebele, do not have to be played on the same weekend with the league games.
An executive at the bank recently told Chronicle Sport that they want their tournament to run from July up to September and if that fails, they might be forced to reconsider their relationship with the PSL.
