“1. On 9 January 2025 Royal AM FC informed the League that it could not meet its
commitments in respect of its match against Chippa United FC on 11 January 2025 due to
difficulties arising from the appointment of a Curator.

assurance that the club, under curatorship, will be able to meet its fixture commitments in
a compliant fashion.

management and the Curator) would be provided confirming that the issues that led to
the club being unable to meet its commitments had been resolved.
4. No such letter of comfort has been forthcoming and ExCo has been left with no
alternative but to cancel PSL Fixture 106 – Royal AM vs Orlando Pirates Harry Gwala
Stadium at 19h30 – and to suspend all other Royal AM fixtures (Betway Premiership and
Nedbank Cup) until further notice.
5. The Executive Committee will meet again on Friday 24 January 2025 at 11h00 to afford
Royal AM (under curatorship) to make representations regarding this matter.”
