Royal AM’s failure to honour four promotion-relegation playoffs resulted in a disciplinary hearing that has finally been settled.
The Premier Soccer League (PSL) disciplinary committee has resolved the matter and reached an agreement.
Eric Mabuza of Mabuza Attorneys, the law firm representing the club, confirmed this is a statement on Tuesday morning.
“It was a good settlement. It’s a settlement where both sides are happy.”, said Mabuza.
It’s been a good week for Royal AM – who bought PSL status from Bloemfontein Celtic and played their first DStv Premiership match over the weekend. The club failed to honour all four playoff matches which ensured Chippa United stay on top and coach Gavin Hunt’s new side is in the PSL this season.
Now, they have settled a long ongoing case and they are officially playing top-flight football in the PSL. Nande Becker, the PSL prosecutor could not be reached for comment at this time.
The DStv Premiership resumed action today with Chippa United taking on Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates hosting newcomers Marumo Gallants at home.
Royal AM’s next match is against Cape Town City FC on Wednesday at 17:00.
