This Fufa Big League season will pose the toughest question to the Big League’s existence, its importance, relevance, and success.
The answer is critical. Financially, this season of the Fufa Big League will be a slog. How the 16 clubs that make the league respond to this will be a test of their character.
For a while now, they have been resigned to their fate. The coronavirus pandemic will take a hit overall, and so will revenues, as fans will not be allowed to make a contribution to their teams on the pitch.

The central nervous system of Masaza Cup football has been the massive fans that turn up for games. Actually, the final at the 42,000-seat-er Mandela National Stadium Namboole, has been a sell-out for the past three years.
The tournament has however been stripped of its trademark as games will be played behind closed doors at the Fufa Technical Centre-Njeru under strict observance of the Covid-19 protocols. Most of the teams have resorted to politicians to raise funds.
