As the people in Burundi and the rest of the world continue to mourn the passing on of former Burundi’s President Pierre Nkurunziza, the football governing body in that central African country has pushed ahead the main league – Primus Burundi Premier League.
A communiqué released by the president of the Federation De Football Du Burundi on behalf of the competitions department, Yussuf Mossi indicated that the league has been pushed ahead from 12th June to 19th June 2020.
Match day 29 kicks off on Friday, 19th June 2020 with two matches and will be summarised on the subsequent day.
Messager Ngozi, home to two Ugandans Steven “Nesta” Mugisha and Allan Brian Kizza is now on 58 points, three away from second placed Musongati with two rounds to climax the season.
Messanger Ngozi, a club owned by the late Nkurunziza is just a victory away from clinching the league title.
In April 2020, the Burundi Primus League took a month long break because of the Corona-Virus pandemic and presidential elections campaign.
