Burundi Championship Champion and Clausura Finals in Nicaragua: last football during COVID-19

Every day, due to the pandemic of the coronavirus, football in the world is becoming smaller and smaller. According to rumors, the last bastion of Europe will collapse on Monday – the championship of Belarus can go on indefinite vacation. And the match “Isloch” – “Slutsk” may be the last in this part of the season of the Major League.

But there are still places in the world where the number one game continues to delight fans. Therefore, we have prepared for you a brief guide to the championships, which you will have to follow in the near future.

Burundi Premier League

Where is it: East Africa (between Rwanda, DR Congo and Tanzania)
How is it with COVID-19: 3 cases identified, 0 dead

Burundi is one of the most liveable countries today. Speaking in the context of a pandemic, of course. So this is one of the least developed countries in the world. According to official data in Burundi, only three cases of infection were detected. And without sacrifices. The situation is only favorable in the Caribbean Netherlands (2 cases), the Falkland Islands, Papua New Guinea and East Timor (one case of infection).

And nobody thinks to stop the football championship there. There is now the 27th round. Le Massage (55 points after 27 matches) and Musongati (51 points after 26 matches) fight for the title. In addition to the championship, a ticket to the qualifying round of the African Champions League is at stake.

But the current champion – “Egle Noir” – is in third place. He will not be able to defend the title. But he can calmly collapse to sixth position if he fills the last four matches.

A little lower is the country’s most titled team – Vital’O, which has 20 championships over 60 years of history. True, the latter was mined four years ago.

Nicaragua Premier League

Where is it: Central America (between Honduras and Costa Rica)
How is it with COVID-19: 5 cases identified, 1 deceased

In Nicaragua, the situation with coronavirus is slightly worse than in Burundi. Almost two times worse. But this is not a reason not to play football. Moreover, there are not so many teams in the Example – only 10. And the championship itself in the image of the Argentine league is divided into two parts – Apertura (from August to November) and Klausur (from January to May). And now the second round of Klausura is in full swing.

So far, the leader is Managua. She has 30 points after 14 games. On her heels comes the current winner of the Estelle Aperture. But leadership in this case is nothing more than a pleasant bonus. Anyway, after the end of the regular season we are waiting for the playoffs, which will include the six best teams. And all ten participants can count on getting into the six right now.

That is, the Sabanas coming in last place can theoretically raise the champion cup in two months.

The most titled club in the country is Derianhen. He became the champion 27 times.

Major League of Tajikistan

Where is it: Central Asia (between China, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan)
How is it with COVID-19: not identified

According to official data, there is no coronavirus in Tajikistan. Nevertheless, the country’s leadership advises citizens not to visit crowded places and observe hygiene rules. But since there is no COVID-19, nothing will prevent you from starting the football season. Right today. True, the starting tours will be held without spectators.

As you might have guessed, the Tajik championship is played according to the “spring-autumn” scheme. There are ten teams in the league. Just like in Nicaragua. Only the season is played not in the playoffs, but in three circles. That is, each of the participants will hold 27 matches.

The most titled club in the country is Istiklol from Dushanbe. He took the championship eight times. Moreover, all his titles have been within the last ten years. By the way, in the absence of the RPL, it will be interesting for army fans to watch the Tajik championship: the CSKA-Pamir team is playing there. Also from Dushanbe. True, it cannot be ranked among the leaders.
