Johannesburg - The Premier Soccer League (PSL) on Tuesday said football stadiums will be allowed to hold 50% capacity again, starting with the Nedbank Cup quarter-finals on April 8.

PSL boss Irvin Khoza confirmed the easing of restrictions. Only fully vaccinated fans will be allowed access to stadiums.

Fans will be required to produce a vaccine certificate or a negative Covid-19 test not older than 72 hours, and proof of identification to be admitted.

On Monday, the PSL's executive committee (exco) met to discuss the matter of allowing fans to return as spectators at matches after President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that stadiums will be opened for professional sports events at 50% capacity.
