The member of the Medical Committee of the African Football Confederation (CAF), Dr. Yacine Zerguini, has praised PSL for successfully implementing a biologically safe environment in the 2019/20 season.
The PSL biobubble has been hailed by the CAF medical expert as the “most elaborate example” that has “set new standards”.
After the coronavirus thwarted the 2019/20 season in March 2020, the PSL opted for a biologically safe environment (also known as a bio-bubble) to complete the remainder of the season.
Speaking about the impact of the coronavirus in Africa and also the response of African leagues to the pandemic, Dr. Zerguini singled out South Africa for its processes, including how it combined several key insights to find solutions.
He said: “We have particularly looked at the examples in different leagues. We have seen the examples in South Africa, in Morocco, in Tunisia and also in Egypt that have given good examples.
“For me, the most elaborate example in South Africa, perhaps because they have a tradition of direct links between sports medicine and academia and they use this experience. The combination of these is probably the solution, for us to ask those who know and have understanding to help and find solutions. “
