The Premier Soccer League (PSL) and MultiChoice have partnered to produce an inventive programme, designed to help players find success off the playing field once their careers conclude.
The PSL Player Transition Programme focuses on current PSL players aged between 28 and 35 years and aims to equip and empower them with the necessary knowledge and skills to transition into a role in the sport after they have retired.
Set to run from January 2022 until June 2022, the programme will prepare these players for the reality of retirement from playing professional sport, empowering them to make a meaningful impact in the world and to leave a legacy.

“Today is proof that what happens when you engage on a matter of national importance with a renowned model corporate citizen. Multichoice is helping the PSL walk the talk.
“The launch of the programme is a significant first step in addressing the plight of professional football players when they retire from their glorious playing days,” said PSL chairman, Dr Irvin Khoza.
The Gordon Institute of Business Science has been selected as the educational partner for the programme.
GIBS will be responsible for creating and updating an online educational platform, tutoring, and developing the framework for the onboarding and training of participants.
