The incident was not the first after Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos was also denied entry into Orlando Stadium ahead of a match between Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns.

“A club chairman can only go into the dressing room if he’s got accreditation,” Schloss told Kickoff.

“He can go anywhere yes with that accreditation, and he would have been required to have had his 48-hour Covid-19 test as well.

“The club will usually give a list of all 160 people to attend the game, including both teams and all officials,” he added.
