What you need to know:

  • Tooro United, Proline (all on 22 points) and Maroons (24) have been relegated as per table standings.
  • Fufa also applied the less than 50 per cent of matches played rule to declare the Women Super League null and void, with no champions and no relegation.
  • The District Leagues, fourth and fifth Divisions, have also been cancelled.

Vipers SC were on Wednesday declared the 2019/20 StarTimes Uganda Premier League (SUPL) champions after Uganda's football governing body, Fufa, invoked the 75 per cent clause of the Competitions Committee Rules to decide the season.

The decision has been necessitated by the continued uncertainly due to the coronavirus, which has ravaged the world, bringing economies and sport to a halt.
