Stellenbosch coach Steve Barker says the delay in the restart of the 2019/20 Premier Soccer League (PSL) season has become “frustrating” and has made “some players forget their love for the game.”
An impasse between the PSL and Safa have seen no substantive dates being agreed upon for the resumption of football which has been on a pause in South Africa since March.
After the government gave the go-ahead for contact sports to continue under strict health and safety protocols, the league governing body set July 18 for the restart, while Safa insists their referees will only be available to officiate matches starting in the first week of August.
