PREMIER Soccer League (PSL) CEO, Brand de Villiers, has welcomed newly promoted clubs, Mthatha Bucks and Mbombela United to the National Soccer League (NSL).
The two clubs were promoted to the National First Division (NFD) after finishing at the top of their respective groups in the ABC Motsepe League national play-offs. Mthatha Bucks is from Mthatha in the Eastern Cape and Mbombela United hails from Mpumalanga. The two clubs will now form part of the 32 PSL teams and will compete in the country’s second highest soccer level.
“On behalf of all the members of the NSL, I would like to congratulate Mbombela United FC and Mthatha Bucks FC for achieving this feat. This is a proud moment for them and their supporters and we wish them the best of luck during the 2015/16 season in the National First Division. We are looking forward to working closely with them in the NSL. Through our induction process which includes our compliance manual, we will equip both clubs to adapt easily to life at this level. We hope that their participation at this level will also add value to their communities,” De Villiers said.
Mthatha Bucks and Mbombela United replace Maluti FET College and Garankuwa United who were both relegated to the ABC Motsepe League.
