The South African Football Association (SAFA) has made a tough decision on the ABC Motsepe League playoffs.
The national playoffs kicked off on Tuesday, 1 July at Giant Stadium in Soshanguve.
And they started with only seven registered teams as both the Eastern Cape and Limpopo don’t have representatives.
This is due to the ongoing disputes to determine legitimate winners from those two provinces.
Now, the SAFA Competitions Committee met on Tuesday night to find a solution to the matter.
And after deliberating on the matter, the Competitions Committee resolved to exclude teams from the Eastern Cape and Limpopo.
In a statement released after the meeting, SAFA said these disputes would not have needed before the conclusion of the national playoffs.
And to protect the integrity of the Association and that of sponsors, they decided to proceed with only seven teams.
THREE teams, and NOT two, are set to be promoted to the Motsepe Foundation Championship for next season.
This is to ensure that there are 16 teams in the Motsepe Foundation Championship after Royal AM were expelled from the PSL.
