Game Plan Set: PSL and SuperSport rally clubs for innovation-driven season

The Premier Soccer League (PSL) and broadcast powerhouse SuperSport kicked off preparations for the 2025/26 season with their fourth annual Chairpersons Workshop — a dynamic forum where football minds meet, ideas ignite, and the future of South African football takes shape.

Held ahead of the new season, the workshop brought together PSL Executive Committee members, club chairpersons, senior SuperSport leaders, and top-tier officials. Together, they unpacked bold strategies around broadcast innovation, commercial growth, and fan engagement — all with one goal in mind: elevating the beautiful game.

PSL Chairman Dr Irvin Khoza set the tone with a rousing opening message championing progress, partnership, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. His remarks were complemented by SuperSport CEO Rendani Ramovha, who spotlighted cutting-edge trends reshaping global sports broadcasting, urging stakeholders to embrace technology and lead from the front.

A standout moment came courtesy of Betway Africa’s Head of Marketing, Mark Rowles, who revealed a sneak peek of the upcoming Betway Premiership campaign. The exclusive preview offered club leaders a first look at the campaign’s creative vision — designed to resonate deeply with fans and reignite passion across stadiums.

This annual gathering is more than a seasonal checkpoint — it’s a strategic accelerator for football in Mzansi. With innovation, alignment, and ambition at the helm, the PSL gears up for a season that promises to captivate audiences and raise the bar across the continent.
