PSL Makes a Huge Decision Regarding Royal AM’s Membership

• If the decision is upheld, the club could be removed from top-flight football, affecting its players, staff, and ownership
• Fans and analysts are divided, with some supporting the decision while others highlight Royal AM’s impact on the league

The Premier Soccer League (PSL) Executive Committee has recommended the termination of Royal AM's membership, SABC Sport reported .

This decision was reached during a crucial meeting held earlier today, signaling a significant shake-up in South African football.

Key Decision by the Executive Committee

According to sources close to the PSL, the executive committee convened to deliberate on Royal AM's standing within the league.

After thorough discussions, it was decided that the club’s membership should be revoked. However, this decision is not yet final.

The next step involves gathering all PSL clubs to approve or contest this conclusion.

What This Means for Royal AM

The termination of Royal AM's PSL membership would have far-reaching implications.

The club, owned by businesswoman and socialite Shauwn ‘MaMkhize’ Mkhize, has been a controversial yet dynamic presence in South African football.

If the termination is upheld by the broader PSL body, it could mean Royal AM will no longer participate in top-flight football, potentially being relegated or expelled from the league structure altogether.

Next Steps: Club Approval Pending

The PSL executive committee does not have the sole authority to enforce this decision.

The final approval must come from a meeting involving all PSL-affiliated clubs, where they will vote on whether to ratify the executive committee’s recommendation.

Until then, Royal AM's future remains uncertain, with stakeholders eagerly awaiting the final verdict.

Reactions from the Football Community

Meanwhile, club officials have yet to issue an official response to the announcement.

Football fans and analysts have reacted with mixed emotions to the news.
