LEFA, the local soccer governing body has informed the football fraternity that following a series of meetings with other stakeholders, the association has directed all the league bodies to start preparations that will eventually lead to the smooth resumption and subsequently the continuation of the 2020/2021 season.

The other stakeholders include the Premier League Management Committee (PLMC) and Chairpersons of the A, B as well as the C Division Management Committees.

LeFA Media Officer, Mikia Kalati said the PLMC has further been directed to re-schedule LDF and LMPS FC matches after they were not played on account of the two teams having three or more players in the senior national team, Likuena.

PLMC also rescinded its decision to dock points and or forfeit the two clubs’ matches.
''The leagues are also requested to furnish the office of the Secretary General with their proposed schedule of events and activities that will lead to the full resumption of your respective leagues. The schedules should reach the office of the Secretary General no later than 12noon on Wednesday, October 6,'' he said.
For his part, PLMC Communications and Marketing Manager (CMM), Qamako Mahao said the majority of Premier League teams had proposed a premature ending of the Premier League.
He said if the proposal was granted, it would mean the sponsor would only give the teams prize money based on the number of games played thus far, adding that it would also mean that the new soccer season would resume now and end in May next year.
