ZVISHAVANE- The Premier Soccer League condemns in the strongest possible terms the appalling incidents of crowd trouble that took place at a match between Dynamos FC and Highlanders FC at Barbourfields Stadium.
“As we are currently awaiting official reports from the Match Commissioner and Referee before commencing disciplinary procedures, we would like to reiterate that violence and hooliganism have no place in our football and we expect those that breach our rules and regulations to be brought to book.
“The PSL is an apolitical sporting organisation whose objectives are to develop football and foster unity among the communities. We deplore elements who want to use football gatherings to pursue selfish and divisive interests.
“We urge clubs to educate their supporters on football Rules and Regulations. Pitch invasion and crowd trouble are serious offences that result in severe punishment for clubs.
“We take this opportunity to apologise to the Sports and Recreation Commission representing the Government of Zimbabwe, ZIFA, Sponsors, fans and other stakeholders”, read the statement signed by PSL chairman Farai Jere who is also an MP for Murehwa West Constituency under Zanu PF.
