Competitiveness must come first in the PSL

The excitement ahead of the 2025-26 Betway Premiership season will mean very little if teams fail to deliver on the pitch.
Judging by the strong attendance at last weekend's MTN8 quarterfinals, particularly at a packed Orlando Stadium and a lively Lucas Moripe Stadium, fans are clearly eager for the return of domestic football.
The sold-out encounter between Pirates and Polokwane City was proof that the football-loving public could hardly wait for the new season to begin. Now, it's over to the players and coaches to honour their side of the bargain, and that means playing entertaining football.
Goals, not goalless draws, should be the order of the day.
16 goals were scored across the four MTN8 quarterfinals, setting a high standard ahead of this weekend's league fixtures.
