The dispute is arising from Ndoro’s eligibility after he featured for three clubs in the same season – Orlando Pirates, Al Faisaly and Ajax Cape Town.
The matter was initially heard by the PSL’s Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC), who ruled in favour of Ndoro and declared the Zimbabwean international eligible to play but PSL opposed the ruling.
