The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has been left embarrassed after FIFA shot down the proposal to reduce the league to a 20-team division. Highly placed sources in Zimbabwe football confirmed that the proposal had been rejected.

The PSL had announced that there would be no relegation next year, which would have left the league with 22 teams, with six to be relegated in 2026 to leave 20 teams competing in 2027. However, with FIFA's decision, the eight relegation-threatened clubs will have everything to fight for this weekend.

ZIFA had recently asked the PSL to consider increasing the number of teams to 20, a move that seemed like a populist stance to protect Dynamos and Highlanders, who are facing relegation.
