Kaizer Chiefs legend McCarthy surprised as Absa sponsorship ends with PSL

Kaizer Chiefs legend Fabian McCarthy has backed the Premier Soccer League (PSL) to find a new headline sponsor.

This comes after the PSL announced their sponsorship relationship with Absa will come to an end when their contract expires at the end of the current season.

The coronavirus pandemic has led to the suspension of the season since mid-March 2020 and the PSL is working with the South African Football Association (Safa) to ensure that the campaign resumes and it is completed.

However, the PSL has now been dealt a blow with Absa set to end their 16-year partnership and McCarthy said the announcement has come as a surprise.
