Premiership club Royal AM's participation in the 2024-25 DStv Diski Challenge (DDC) reserve league has been halted, the Premier Soccer League (PSL) says.
The PSL said in a statement on Friday evening the KwaZulu-Natal club, owned by business-person Shauwn Mkhize, has been unable to put out a team in the under-23 DDC for reasons related to a Fifa transfer ban.
“Royal AM has been unable to field a team in the 2024-25 DStv Diski Challenge competition due to a Fifa registration ban,” the PSL statement read.
“After reviewing the facts and representations presented by the club this week, the PSL executive committee has resolved to halt Royal AM's participation in the 2024-25 DStv Diski Challenge competition.”
Royal AM have two Fifa bans related to contractual issues with Serbian striker Samir Nurković and Brazilian defender Ricardo Nascimento.
This after the Pietermaritzburg-based side failed to settle a payment of R12m to Nurković and were handed another three-window transfer ban in the Nascimento matter.
