In an exciting development for South African football fans, the Minister of Sport, Arts, and Culture, McKenzie, has confirmed that Bloemfontein Celtic will be making a highly anticipated return to the Premier Soccer League (PSL). This announcement comes amid ongoing discussions about the future of Royal AM, whose assets are set to go up for auction on Friday.
McKenzie revealed that several potential buyers are involved in the process, with one group having already finalized a deal to bring a team back to the Free State. While specific details remain under wraps due to a non-disclosure agreement, the Minister assured that the return of Siwelele (Bloemfontein Celtic) is imminent, marking a significant moment for Free State soccer.
The news follows reports that Royal AM, a club that has been embroiled in financial and legal challenges, will be auctioned off next week Friday. This development has paved the way for Bloemfontein Celtic’s revival, much to the delight of their loyal fanbase, who have long awaited the team’s return to the PSL.
Bloemfontein Celtic, a club with a rich history and passionate supporters, has been absent from the top flight since its sale and subsequent rebranding. Their potential comeback has sparked widespread excitement, with fans hopeful that the team will reclaim its place as a cornerstone of South African football.
McKenzie’s announcement underscores the government’s commitment to revitalizing football in the Free State and ensuring that the region remains a hub for sporting excellence. As the auction for Royal AM approaches, all eyes will be on the outcome and the subsequent steps to reinstate Bloemfontein Celtic in the PSL.
For now, the football community eagerly awaits further details, with the promise of Siwelele’s return bringing a renewed sense of hope and anticipation to the Free State and beyond.
