Amakhosi Finally Hits Big

Kaizer Chiefs will wear three stars as they have won the league 13 times since 1971, but they have not won the continental title as they lost in the final to Al Ahly last season.

Pirates will have one Champions League star for winning the tournament in 1995 and they will have two more stars as they have won nine league titles since 1971.

SuperSport United will get one star for having won three league titles in succession under coach Gavin Hunt between 2007 and 2010.

In July, Sundowns told their supporters in a statement that they requested the PSL to have a star for winning 10 league titles and were waiting for a response at that time.

“Since winning our 10th Premier Soccer League title in September 2020, it was widely reported in the media and expected by our supporters that Mamelodi Sundowns would add a star to its badge that would symbolise its 10 PSL titles, as is common practice in leagues on the continent and across the world.

“Due to the unprecedented nature of our achievement, there had not been any previous provision in the PSL rules to deal with the awarding of this accolade.

“Mamelodi Sundowns presented this to the PSL at the close of the 2019/2020 season, and we are still awaiting permission to place a ‘10th title star’ on our badge,” read the Sundowns statement in July.
