The Premier Soccer League says discussions on permanently moving the country’s football calender are premature given that the environment is not yet safe for matches to be played due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
PSL spokesperson Kudzai Bare said that they have tasked their sports medicine committee to work around medical procedures that will be followed by clubs when the government and health authorities permit football activities to resume. Said Bare:
We have tasked our sports medicine committee to work around medical protocols that will be followed by clubs once football resumes.
FeedbackWe will resume PSL matches when it is safe to do so, we will be monitoring the situation prevailing as well as guidance from the government and health authorities.
The PSL was scheduled to commence in March but was postponed indefinitely when the country was put under lockdown to curb the spread of COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus.
Indications are that football will only be given the go-ahead around August or September and some stakeholders have called for the local premiership calendar to be brought into line with the rest of the world.
