The financial troubles of KwaZulu-Natal side Royal AM have forced the Premier Soccer League (PSL) to call off all the club’s fixtures until futher notice.
These include next Monday’s Nedbank Cup last-32 clash against Motsepe Foundation Championship (MFC) side Milford FC.
A PSL statement released on Wednesday afternoon read: “On 9 January 2025, Royal AM FC informed the League that it could not meet its commitments in respect of its match against Chippa United FC on 11 January 2025 due to difficulties arising from the appointment of a curator. The executive committee (ExCo) has since convened three separate meetings seeking the assurance that the club, under curatorship, will be able to meet its fixture commitments in a compliant fashion.
“On 17 January 2025, ExCo were informed that a joint letter of comfort (from club management and the curator) would be provided confirming that the issues that led to the club being unable to meet its commitments had been resolved. No such letter of comfort has been forthcoming.”
The latest developments have also resulted in Thursday’s Betway Premiership match against Orlando Pirates, which was scheduled for 19h30 at the Harry Gwala Stadium in Pietermaritzburg, being postponed as well.
The statement further said: “The executive committee will meet again on Friday, 24 January 2025 at 11h00 to afford Royal AM (under curatorship) to make representations regarding this matter.”
