The Leagues of Belarus, Tajikistan, Nicaragua, Taiwan and Burundi they are by themselves exotic, but even more so when they became the exception to the rule, since they are the only ones that are active despite the pandemic of coronavirus.
From there some like Belarusian and Nicaraguan began to have much more diffusion around the world and therefore we tell you the peculiarities of each one of them.
The Belarus League, which you can follow live in Mediotiempo, has 16 teams with unrelenting hegemony, since the champion from 2006 to 2018 was the Bat Borisov.
He had to resurface Dynamo Brest until 2019 to cut a streak of 13 years in a row Borisov as champion. In times of pandemic, it is played behind closed doors, but with cardboard fans in the stands.
FROM ‘HIGHER LEAGUE’ TO MEXICANS IN NICARAGUA
In Tajikistan the tournament is called “Higher League“and it has ten teams. Being so few, the competition system consists of clashes all against all three times. The Champion since 2014 is FC Istiklol, who barely on April 4 he won the Super Cup in his country.
In addition there is the Nicaraguan League, with 10 Mexicans in it, such as Taufic Guarch and Fernando Villalpando, both scorers of the tournament that is made up of only ten teams.
For its part, the Taiwan Football Premier League It started just last weekend and only eight teams make it up. In 2016 the tournament was called that way because before it was the City A-League.
In three seasons since its creation, 2017, ‘18 and ‘19, –because it is played in a calendar year and not in a football year–, the three leaders have been the same and in the same order: the Tatung FC as champion, followed by Taipower FC and the Hang Yuen FC.
In Burundi, where there are also 16 teams, the Vital’O FC “steals” the League with 20 titles in its history, while its closest pursuer, Inter FC Bujumbura, he is just 9.
In this decade, the Vital’O FC He won the titles in 2010, 2012, 2015, 2016, until other clubs began to win the tournament in subsequent years. The last Champion is the Aigle Noir Makamba FC and in the absence of three dates to end this season, it is the Le Messager Ngozi the one that goes pointer in the table.
A LEAGUE OF TURBULENT CIRCUMSTANCES
Other peculiarities of these tournaments are that Belarus and Tajikistan are a result of the dissolution of the former Soviet Union, so their tournaments of First division They are quite young, regardless of whether they change their name or format.
In Burundi, one of the poorest countries in the world, most of the players are amateur and naturally the tournament is low level, similar case in Nicaragua and own Taiwan.
