PSL succumbs

THE relegation/promotion football saga that had threatened to disrupt the start of the upcoming league season has finally come to an amicable conclusion, after the Premier Soccer League (PSL) yesterday resolved to adopt a Zifa resolution to promote four teams into the top-flight league with two demoted to the lower leagues.

A Zifa assembly recently met, where members unanimously maintained that two teams would be relegated from the league, while four from the regional leagues would be promoted to play in the PSL for the 2017 season.

The PSL has previously resisted the resolution, straining relations between the soccer controlling body and its affiliate.
