Premier Soccer League (PSL) CEO Kjetil Siem has welcomed Vasco da Gama into the PSL's elite league for the 2010/11 Absa Premiership season.

This comes after the Cape Town side beat Black Leopards in the second leg of the NFD Stream Winners final to book themselves a place in the top flight for next season.

"Vasco?s promotion is richly deserved," said Siem.

He added: "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."

Siem did, however, point out that Vasco will need to find a suitable home ground as their current stadium does not meet the PSL requirements for top flight football.
