NB: the match Soleil vs Avrankou was awarded to the latter because Soleil
    had originally listed Fatolou Prosper on the match documents, but had
    removed his name prior to the start of the match; the player, who
    allegedly had not completed the transfer formalities after leaving his
    former club Espoir Plus before joining Soleil, neither played in the
    match nor was he a substitute; nevertheless the match was awarded (a
    long time after the season had finished) to Avrankou, thereby saving
    them from relegation at the cost of Requins; the same Fatolou Prosper
    had actively played in both matches Soleil won against Requins (on 
    Aug 31 and Oct 19), but these matches were not awarded to Requins (if 
    these matches would also have been awarded against Soleil, Soleil would
    have finished on a relegation place).  Avrankou Omnisports is the club 
    of the treasurer general of the FBF while the president of the executive
    committee of the FBF is the main sponsor of Soleil.

NB: Requins, Espoir and Dynamo Parakou have protested their relegation;
    a commission was set up on May 5, 2009 on the order of FIFA to resolve
    these issues within a month; on July 2, 2009, the commission submitted
    its report in which the entire transitional championship was declared
    invalid because of a number of irregularities.

NB: in 2009/10 the first level is reduced to 14 clubs and 
    the second to 12; participants were announced in August as:

NB: ASOS, UNB, USC, Energie, JS Pobè and JAM were apparently
    excluded from both first and second level for failing to
