Live soccer will return to South Africa this weekend with cup fixtures raising the curtain ahead of the resumption of league fixtures on Tuesday, 11 August 2020.
The first match will be the Nedbank Cup semi-final between Bloemfontein Celtic and Baroka FC at Orlando Stadium in Soweto at 14:00 on Saturday, 8 August 2020. That will be followed by the second semi, at the same venue, between Mamelodi Sundowns and Wits.
The remaining league fixtures in a tightly contested title race will be crammed into a three-week period. The remaining PSL fixtures for 2020 will take part in a “bio-bubble” to ensure safety protocols are adhered to as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.
The League also confirmed that there will be five substitutes allowed in a match for the remainder of the 2019/20 season.
The five sub rule for remaining PSL fixtures explained
- Nine (9) substitutes can be named (not 7) in the team list.
- Five substitutions are allowed per Club during the game.
- Clubs will get three substitution opportunities during the game (plus half time, which isn’t counted as one of the three)
- If both teams make substitutions at the same time, this counts as a used “opportunity” for both teams
- In a cup game, unused substitutions and opportunities are carried into extra time
- Teams will get an additional substitute and an additional substitution opportunity in extra time, taking the total of subs to 6 and opportunities to 4
- Substitutions made before extra time and during half time of extra time don’t count as a lost opportunity
