The Premier Soccer League have confirmed there will be no trophy handover in the Motsepe Foundation Championship this weekend amid ongoing DC case, as reported by iDiski Times.
This publication revealed on Wednesday that log leaders Durban City find themselves in a DC case with JDR Stars over an allegedly irregularly registered player.
The outcome of the case is expected on Tuesday, 20 May after the final round of fixtures, and could impact the final standings.
As a consequence, the PSL have now confirmed the trophy handover for this season’s MFC winners will be postponed until all cases are cleared up.
“It has been the practice of the National Soccer League over the past few years to hand the Motsepe Foundation Championship Cup trophy to the team at the top of the division standings after the last match of season,” read a statement.

“Unfortunately, certain matters referred by Member Clubs in the division to the Prosecutor and/or disciplinary bodies have not yet been finalized.
“It is not clear to the NSL how, and to what extent, these matters may impact the final standings in the division.
“The League has decided to delay the Cup handover while these matters are being addressed by the appropriate decision-makers.
“The NSL will use its best endeavours, to the extent permissible under the NSL Handbook, to ensure these matters are finalized as expeditiously as possible and will keep Member Clubs informed.”
