Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has revealed that he did meet with Premier Soccer League chairman Dr. Irvin Khoza, but explained that there will be a follow on meeting with all clubs.
Broos had continuously been asking about meeting Khoza after some issues between the league and Bafana, including the rejection of a request to have the final DStv Premiership matches of 2023 postponed.
He did finally meet Khoza during a recent National Executive Meeting of the South African Football Association, but he said it wasn’t much of an exchange because Khoza suggested all club chairmen should be part of the meeting and not just him.
“I had a meeting with Mr. Khoza but I understand what he said on that meeting,” Broos told journalists on Tuesday.
“So it was not a long meeting. But he said, ‘Look, I’m just representing 16 professional teams. And I don’t want to have this discussion of this meeting only with you and me, I think is much better that other people are also there where we meet each other. Because I can’t, not on my own, take decision so for speak for them’.
“So we postponed the meeting. And we will have the meeting when I’m back after Easter in South Africa. So it will be at the end of April.
“So there is nothing more happened than that. And I could really understand his feelings about that. So we have the meeting at the end of April, and no problem at all.”
For now, Broos is focussing on the upcoming friendly matches against Andorra and Algeria, which are part of the new FIFA Friendlies Seires and are taking place in Algeria.
