The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has summoned Chicken Inn FC to appear before its Disciplinary Committee after their Castle Lager Premier Soccer League clash against Scottland FC was abruptly abandoned at Rufaro Stadium on May 23, 2025.
According to PSL Communications and Media Liaison Officer Kudzai Bare, the Bulawayo-based club is facing several charges including disorderly conduct, failure by players and officials to comply with lawful orders, disturbing the normal proceedings of a match and ultimately, causing the abandonment of the game.
Chicken Inn midfielder George Majika has also been individually cited and will face the committee on charges of disorderly conduct and failure to comply with lawful orders.
“The disciplinary hearings will be held at the PSL offices on Thursday, 26 June 2025,” said Bare in a statement issued Wednesday.
The match was abandoned due to a controversy surrounding a penalty call in the 90th minute.
Chicken Inn players protested the penalty, leading to a lengthy delay.
The Chicken Inn technical bench eventually walked off the pitch, resulting in the match’s abandonment.
The match was still 0–0 when the penalty was awarded, and the Chicken Inn players did not take kindly to the decision and refused to allow play to continue.
