FC Rellen.
FC Rellen owner has cast doubt over whether the club will return to compete in the Hollywoodbets Regional League next season following a disappointing end to their Mopani Champ of Champs campaign.
The Baobab Stream champions endured a frustrating tournament at Giyani Stadium, opening with a 1-1 draw against Gawula Classic before suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat to MJM Hotspurs. The club then failed to honour its remaining two fixtures on Sunday, resulting in walkover victories being awarded to Hlahla Northern Bucks.
Speaking after the tournament, the club owner admitted he is yet to decide on the team’s future.
«”Hahaha, I am still thinking about it. I have a problem with referees who act with impunity and nothing is done to them. I am really tired of such conduct. They are killing the game.”»
His comments come amid growing uncertainty over the club’s future participation in the regional league.
FC Rellen, together with Bakgaga United, did not pitch for their scheduled fixtures on Sunday. Their failure to honour the matches has fuelled speculation that both clubs could face disciplinary action from the regional football authorities, with possible sanctions reportedly ranging from financial penalties to expulsion from future competitions.
Whether FC Rellen will return to the Hollywoodbets Regional League next season remains to be seen as the club weighs its options following a disappointing conclusion to its promotion hopes.To avoid making claims that aren’t yet established, the final paragraph refers to the reported sanctions as speculation rather than fact.
