In a shocking turn of events, the Premier Soccer League (PSL) is set to strip Mamelodi Sundowns of their 2024/25 DStv Premiership title after the club was found guilty of breaching league regulations by fielding more than five foreign players during the season. According to the PSL rulebook, no team is allowed to have more than five non-South African players in their match-day squad — a rule designed to maintain competitive balance and promote local talent.
An investigation revealed that Sundowns consistently fielded six or more foreigners, a direct violation of the rules. After formal complaints and a thorough disciplinary hearing, the PSL’s Disciplinary Committee has decided to nullify the points accumulated in the affected matches.
As a result, the league title will be officially handed to Orlando Pirates, who finished second on the log. This decision marks one of the most dramatic title reversals in PSL history and sends a strong message about compliance and integrity in South African football.
Sundowns are expected to appeal the decision, but for now, the Buccaneers are set to be crowned champions in extraordinary circumstances that have sent shockwaves through the football community.
