The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has confirmed the dates for the Betway Premiership promotion-relegation playoff matches.
The playoffs were set to kick off towards the end of May, with two Motsepe Foundation Championship (MFC) clubs Orbit College and Casric Stars, who finished second and third, to compete against Cape Town City FC, who finished 15th in the Betway Premiership.
Lodged a formal objection
However, that was put on hold after JDR Stars and Cape Town Spurs’ case against MFC winners Durban City after they protested the eligibility of Saziso Magawana.
Meanwhile, Cape Town City FC also lodged a formal objection with the PSL after their decision to resume the match between SuperSport United and Golden Arrows in the second half, three months after it was called off.
However, he Citizens lost the arbitration on Wednesday with the PSL subsequently confirming the fixtures.
As a reminder, Durban City will replace Royal AM in the Betway Premiership next season, with the winner of the Cape Town City FC-Orbit College-Casric Stars round robin to stay – or join – the top flight in 2025/26.
Should Cape Town City FC be relegated, the Western Cape won’t have a single club among the Top 16.
The Citizens won seven, drew six and lost 15 of their 28 matches this season.
They scored a league-low 15 goals and conceded 31.
