‘Watch this space’: PSL explains why its monthly awards have disappeared

The season started in August but there were two months (November and December) in which not much football was played because of the Fifa World Cup in Qatar.  

Sundowns were declared by the PSL as winners of the first two of the four quarters, earning R3n. Sundowns are 19 points clear of second-placed PSL rookies Richards Bay FC after 19 matches.

Sundowns are also on an unprecedented unbeaten PSL record of 13 matches following their 2-1 victory over TS Galaxy at the Mbombela Stadium on Tuesday.

The Brazilians, who face Sekhukhune United at Loftus Stadium on Saturday, break their own previous record of 11 unbeaten matches in the Premiership when they beat Kaizer Chiefs 1-0 at the FNB Stadium last Saturday.

“The monthly awards have not been cancelled,” the league’s media officer Fhatuwani Mpfuni told TimesLIVE on Thursday.

“All I can say for now is ‘watch the space’. There will be some exciting announcements soon.”
