Royal AM's fixtures were suspended by the governing body, the Premier Soccer League (PSL), as a result of the South African Revenue Service preservation order against the club over unpaid tax debts by owner Shauwn Mkhize.[5][6]
The PSL expelled Royal AM from the Nedbank Cup on February 25, with Milford progressing to the next round.[7]
