PSL and Mamelodi Sundowns reportedly fail to agree on the appointment of arbitrator

The Premier Soccer Lague (PSL) and Mamelodi Sundowns reportedly failed to reach an agreement on Friday.

It is said that the two parties failed to agree on the appointment of arbitrator as dictated by the South African Football Association (Safa).

The PSL has lodged an appeal against its own Disciplinary Committee which fined Sundowns R250 000 (R125 000 suspended for a year) for fielding an ineligible player in defender Wayne Arendse against Bidvest Wits last October.

Arendse was initially not part of the 18-man squad, but the match commissioner and Wits agreed the former Santos defender could play and the game ended in a 1-1 draw.
