A total of 201 goals were scored in 28 matches on 7 match days

The 2021 Futsal Super League witnessed all the matches played at the Old Kampala Sports Arena in Mengo, Kampala.

A total of twenty eight (28) matches were successfully played in seven match days, having a tally of 201 goals scored.

Every match day had a total of four games played per Saturday in the two groups; Albert Nile and Victoria Nile.

Futsal Association Uganda (FAU) called for a postponement of the climax because of the Coronavirus pandemic after the football mother body in the country, Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) indefinitely suspended all the existing leagues and competitions.

This happened after a directive by the President of the Republic of Uganda H.E General Yoweri Kaguta Museveni to suspend sports activities for a period of 42 days.

Goals galore:

Two hundred and one (201) goals were scored in the 28 matches over 7 match days.

These came in varying fashion and style as tap-ins,  headers, bullet shots, lovely chips, acrobatic overhead finishes, rebounds and the unfortunate own goals.

The opening match day had the most goals scored, 44 goals.

In respect for the law of diminishing returns, the goals kept reducing in the subsequent match days.

Match day two and three had 26 goals scored apiece. 29 goals were scored on match day four, 24 goals (match day five), 27 goals (match day six) and 25 goals on match day 7 of the classification games.
