LESOTHO Football Association (LeFA) has suspended with immediate effect all competitions which fall under its auspices, after Prime Minister Dr Moeketsi Majoro imposed new restrictions based on the recent high number of COVID-19 cases recorded in the country.

The prime minister announced on Thursday that only non-contact sports, with no spectators, played outdoors with a limited number of players should go ahead.

He prohibited all full-contact sports as the country moves from the blue colour code to purple.
LeFA Secretary General, Mokhosi Mohapi said the restrictions are aimed at reducing the escalating COVID-19 infections seen in the past few days.
''The National Executive Committee of the Lesotho Football Association pursuant to its support to the government's efforts to fight the spread of the corona virus and save lives has in its virtual meeting shortly after the announcement by the Right the Prime Minister resolved to indefinitely suspend all competitions under the auspices of LeFA until further information is released by the Association upon the advice of the Government,'' he said.

Mohapi therefore ordered the clubs to suspend all group trainings until further notice.
He said the LeFA President, King’s Counsel Salemane Phafane and the Executive Committee wish all of clubs good health in these trying times, urging the entire football fraternity to practice all COVID-19 mitigation protocols.
For his part, the Public Relations Officer of the Premier League Management Committee (PLMC), Qamako Mahao confirmed that all Vodacom Premier League games have been halted indefinitely.
