The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has sanctioned Herentals FC by banning their fans from attending league matches following incidents of assault during their game against CAPS United.
In a statement, the league confirmed that Herentals fans are barred from attending the club’s next three home fixtures.
Additionally, club officials Paradzai Afa and Tairos Ngoma have been banned from all football activities under the PSL for three seasons.
These sanctions take effect from Matchday 32, beginning with Herentals FC’s home fixture against Yadah FC.
The statement reads:
The Premier Soccer League (PSL) Disciplinary Committee issued a judgment in the matter involving Herentals Football Club and their security officials, Paradzai Afa and Tairos Ngoma, following incidents of assault and disorderly conduct during a Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match against CAPS United FC played at Rufaro Stadium on 13 September 2025.
Herentals FC pleaded guilty to breaching the PSL Rules and Regulations after one of their security officials assaulted a football fan in the VVIP area, while another assaulted a police officer following an arrest for violence after the match.
In delivering its judgment, the Disciplinary Committee expressed concern that Herentals FC has become a repeat offender, frequently appearing before the committee on charges related to violent conduct. The Committee further noted that previous sanctions imposed on the club and its officials have failed to deter further misconduct, particularly by the same individuals, Mr. Afa and Mr. Ngoma.
Consequently, the Disciplinary Committee ordered that Herentals FC be fined US$5,000. In addition, Paradzai Afa and Tairos Ngoma have been banned from performing any official club duties during PSL matches for three (3) seasons. The club will also be required to play its next three home matches behind closed doors, with only accredited personnel permitted to attend.
