The National Soccer League (NSL) was a South African football (soccer) league established in 1985, as a response to boardroom disagreements in the new topflight non-racial league NPSL. As the NSL accounted for the continuation of the major federation, the remainings of NPSL, decided after 10 years co-existence in 1985-95, finally to merge with NSL, to form today's Premier Soccer League (PSL).
