2019–20 South African Premier Division

The Premier Soccer League, South Africa's "administrator of professional football in the Republic of South Africa" refer to the competition as the "Premier Division" in their constitution.[1]

History
Further information: National Football League (South Africa)

The league was founded in 1996 after an agreement between the National Soccer League (South Africa) and the remnants of the National Professional Soccer League (South Africa).[2]

Main article: Ellis Park Stadium disaster

The league was reduced from 18 to 16 teams after the end of the 2001–02 season to avoid fixture congestion, causing two teams, Ria Stars and Free State Stars, to be disbanded.

In 2004, a match-fixing scandal rocked South African football. An investigation codenamed "Operation Dribble" was launched by the South African police in June 2004. More than 40 arrests were made, ranging from club bosses to match commissioners, referees and their assistants.

Kaizer Chiefs successfully defended their league title in 2005 after they won the prestigious trophy in 2004 for the first time in a decade.

The 2005–06 season saw Mamelodi Sundowns capturing the title for the fourth time.

In 2007, the PSL signed a television deal with SuperSport worth R1.6-billion. It is the biggest sporting deal in the history of South Africa, and it took the Premier Division into the top 15 ranked leagues in the world in terms of commercial broadcast deals.

In the same year ABSA replaced Castle Lager as name sponsor.

In 2008, 2009 and 2010 SuperSport United won a hat-trick of titles.

As of May 2019, the league is rated as the 6th best in Africa according to the CAF 5-Year Ranking system.

For the 2018–19 season, the PSL gives each club a monthly grant of 2 million rand, with funds coming from the television broadcasting rights and national sponsorships. The Premiership champion earns a 10 million rand prize.

In 2019, ABSA increased their sponsorship to the PSL to 39.9 million rands.[3] This meant that ABSA Premiership league winners pocket 15 million rands. However, as of the 4th of June 2020,ABSA has canceled its sponsorship with the PSL.[4]

Sponsorship

Since its inception in 1996, the Premier Division has been sponsored. The sponsor has been able to determine the league's sponsorship name. The list below details who the sponsors have been and what they called the competition:

  • 1996-2007: Castle Lager (Castle Premiership)
  • 2007–2020: ABSA (ABSA Premiership)

TV rights

South Africa's Premier Soccer League (PSL) has awarded a $277 million, five year television rights deal to the country's SuperSport satellite channel, operated by media conglomerate Naspers. The deal, which begins in a year's time, extends the arrangement SuperSport entered into with PSL in 2007, covering the five years to May 2012 at a cost of $200 million (1.6 billion rand).[5] Broadcasting about seven live football matches a week, SuperSport sub-licenses certain games to the state TV network, South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC).

Format

There are sixteen clubs in the Premier League. During the course of a season (which lasts from August to May) each club plays the others twice, once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents for a total of 30 games for each club. Teams receive three points for a win and one point for a draw. No points are awarded for a defeat.

The champion and runners up of the Premier Division advances to the CAF Champions League, while the third-place finishers and the Nedbank Cup champions advance to the CAF Confederation Cup.

The bottom team in the ABSA Premiership is automatically relegated and replaced by the winner of the National First Division. The team finishing 15th on the log enters a mini-league playoff with the teams who finished 2nd and 3rd in the National First Division – the winner earning a place in Premier Soccer League for the following season.

Media coverage

The league's main broadcast partner is SuperSport. SuperSport have in turn sub leased the rights to certain matches to the SABC, so that matches can be shown on public television.

SuperSport broadcast matches on Wednesday and Friday nights, as well as on Saturdays and Sundays. The SABC broadcast Wednesday afternoon matches, as well as Saturday and Sunday matches.
