PSL CEO welcomes Vasco to PSL

Following their victory during the 2nd leg of the National First Division (NFD) Stream Winners final, Premier Soccer League (PSL) CEO Kjetil Siem has welcomed winners Vasco da Gama into the elite Absa Premiership for the 2010/2011 season.

Siem was on hand in Parow Park to present the winners with the NFD trophy as well as a cheque for R300 000.00 to Vasco, after their 2-1 win over Black Leopards on Sunday. A 1-1 draw away at Thohoyandou a few days earlier saw Vasco through 3-2 on aggregate.

"Vasco's promotion is richly deserved," said Siem. "They've shown during the last two seasons that they have a sound administrative unit and have proven that professionalism off the field has its rewards on it.

"I'm satisfied that they will adapt to life in the top league especially coming to terms with our various manuals."
