The Premier Soccer League is a league competition featuring professional association football clubs from South Africa. It is the top level football league in South Africa and has been since its foundation in 1996.
The PSL was created following an agreement between the National Soccer League and the remnants of the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL).
The Premier Soccer League is a trading name for the National Soccer
League. The Premier Division is seen as a successor of the National
Soccer League.
The tourney’s format sees 16 clubs take each other on twice during the season – from August to May. Sides play each other once at their home stadium and once at the opponent’s. Teams play a total of 30 games each in a bid to accumulate points: three points are awarded for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss. These points determine the teams’ spot on the log, and after the final game, the soccer club in last place is automatically relegated to the lower leagues.
After a tough 2013 – 2014 season, Mamelodi Sundowns emerged as the defending champion and will surely do their best to hold onto their top spot in the coming months.
