“The national division league will provide a platform for teams from all regions to compete and potentially earn promotion to the Super League, which will increase competition and improve the overall quality of football in the country.

“Additionally, this new format will provide more opportunities for teams from rural areas to participate in top-level football, which will help to promote football development in these areas.”
