The PSL Executive Committee (PSL ExCo) has reportedly recommended that the membership of Royal AM be terminated.
This is according to a report by SABC Sport, meaning Royal AM will be expelled from the league pending the approval from the rest of the clubs.
Having not been able to honour any of their fixtures since December 2024, Royal AM are far behind from catching up.
To add salt to the wound, SARS’ attempts to sell the club to the highest bidder failed just last week.
And the PSL leadership was always expected to make a call on the future of the Royal AM in the league.
Royal AM’s troubles came after SARS went after their owner Shauwn Mkhize over tax evasion.
The players then downed tools over unpaid salaries. This was followed by a takeover by an appointed SARS curator.
Furthermore, Royal AM continue to lose players to their PSL rivals as they are neither training nor getting paid.
Now, should the rest the PSL clubs agree to the expulsion of Royal AM, the current campaign will finish with only 15 teams.
This means no club will automatically be relegated, meaning a team that finishes 15th will still fight it out in the playoffs.
ROYAL AM FACE EXPULSION AFTER PSL EXCO MEETING
“SABC Sport can confirm that the Premier Soccer League executive committee decided the membership of Royal AM should be terminated,” reads part of the report.
“It’s believed the committee met today and will now set up another gathering with the rest of the clubs to approve this conclusion.”
