The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has apologised to the South African Football Association (Safa) after Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos was on Saturday denied access to Orlando Stadium to watch a match between Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns.
The PSL issued a statement to say the incident is highly regrettable, and the league has apologised unreservedly for the unfortunate occurrence.

‘We immediately investigated the matter and established that the confusion was caused by the league’s failure to inform the host club about the head coach’s attendance as per protocol.
‘Over the past two months, an arrangement has been in place between the league and Safa, to allow the head coach to attend matches whenever he needs to, while continuing to ensure compliance.
‘The arrangement has functioned well thus far. On this occasion, the league regrettably erred and will ensure this does not occur again,’ read the statement.
