FULL PSL STATEMENT:
PSL STATEMENT ON CANCELLATION OF PSL FIXTURE 106 // ROYAL AM FC v ORLANDO PIRATES FC// 23 JANUARY 2025: SUSPENSION OF BETWAY PREMIERSHIP AND NEDBANK CUP FIXTURES
1. On 9 January 2025 Royal AM FC informed the League that it could not meet its commitments in respect of its match against Chippa United FC on 11 January 2025 due to difficulties arising from the appointment of a Curator.
2. The Executive Committee (ExCo) has since convened three separate meetings seeking the assurance that the club, under curatorship, will be able to meet its fixture commitments in a compliant fashion.
3. On 17 January 2025 ExCo were informed that a joint letter of comfort (from club management and the Curator) would be provided confirming that the issues that led to the club being unable to meet its commitments had been resolved.
4. No such letter of comfort has been forthcoming and ExCo has been left with no alternative but to cancel PSL Fixture 106 - Royal AM vs Orlando Pirates Harry Gwala Stadium at 19h30- and to suspend all other Royal AM fixtures (Betway Premiership and Nedbank Cup) until further notice.
5. The Executive Committee will meet again on Friday 24 January 2025 at 11h00 to afford Royal AM (under curatorship) to make representations regarding this matter.
