The South African Premier Soccer League (PSL) for the 2013-2014 financial year is set to resume this Friday, promising a highly competitive season. The battle for the succession of Kaizer Chiefs is anticipated to be fiercely contested, with several teams vying for the top spot.
SuperSport United, last season’s runner-up, faces the challenge of losing one of its key players, Kermit Erasmus, who moved to Orlando Pirates. However, they still boast a strong squad. Mamelodi Sundowns, a prominent club in the league, is striving to regain its former glory, and significant transfers, including Togolese midfielder Dové Womé from Free State Stars, aim to propel them back to the top.
Orlando Pirates, facing a hectic schedule with domestic and African Champions League commitments, will need to manage their squad effectively. Newly promoted teams like Polokwane City and Black Aces are expected to make an impact. Additionally, Free State Stars, Bloemfontein Celtic, and Bidvets will aim to play the role of spoilers.
The program for the first day includes the match between Black Aces and Kaizer Chiefs at the Mbombela Stadium, scheduled for 8:00 p.m. on Friday.
