The final 14 minutes of the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match between Hardrock and Dynamos will go ahead on Thursday afternoon at Baobab Stadium. Kick-off is set for 1 pm Central Africa Time.
This follows a decision by the ZIFA Appeals Committee to dismiss Hardrock’s application for a stay of execution. The case stems from the clubs’ abandoned league fixture at Chahwanda Stadium on 24 May, which was called off after crowd disturbances.
The Appeals Committee upheld an earlier ruling that the remaining 14 minutes must be completed behind closed doors at a neutral venue.
Hardrock received the committee’s decision on Wednesday. In dismissing the application, ZIFA said the club’s chances of success appeared limited and that it would not suffer irreparable prejudice if the PSL Disciplinary Committee’s ruling was carried out while the appeal is heard.
Hardrock had been seeking to challenge the sanctions and to stop the match from being completed on Thursday.
“The Appellant’s request for a Stay-Of-Execution pending appeal be and is hereby dismissed,” ruled the Appeals Committee.
“The direction contained in the Judgment of the PSL Disciplinary Committee dated 30th June 2026, that the fixture between Hardrock FC and Dynamos FC abandoned on 24th May 2026 be completed from the 76th minute, shall proceed as directed on Thursday 09th July 2026.”
PSL chief executive officer Rodwell Thabe said the fixture would proceed as scheduled.
