Gauteng won the race to host the bio bubble because of the plethora of stadiums and possible training facilities within its borders, Gauteng, North West and KwaZulu-Natal were all in the race to host the remaining Absa Premiership and GladAfrica Championship matches in a 'bio-bubble'. But Gauteng's infrastructure was the logical choice for the league to host the teams, despite the province's confirmed Covid-19 cases spiking over the last few weeks.
Milpark, Fourways High, Johannesburg Stadium, TUT Stadium, Chris Hani Stadium, Auckland Park Bunting, Marks Park, Germiston Stadium, Voolsrus Stadium, Loftus Versfeld, University of Pretoria and St Stithians have all been identified as training venues. The PSL was planning on rebooting the local season on Saturday, July 18 and finishing on August 3. However, that start seems optimistic, as they are they need to get the green light from the South African Football Association .
"There was a meeting that took place between us and the Minister of Labour, giving advice about how to go with the matters of UIF. A few clubs did apply for that. The unfortunate part is that from the 30th of June, that will be the last time the club will get the grant if nothing happens beyond this time," Khoza said.
