National Championship
=====================
First and Second level
Scheduled start: Feb 3
No championship held this season due to financial problems and due
to the rain.
The Football Federation decided to exclude FC Cuntum from the first division
because of indisciplined acts during the past season. Their place will be
taken by Estrela Negra of Bissau (the military national team, relegated to
the second division two years ago following not showing at a match against
FC Mavegro during the civil war in 1998).

Final [Oct 28]
FC Catacumba 3-1 FC Djaraff
NB: while Catacumba were expecting a trophy, the organisation, having no
money to buy one, offered their captain a cow.
On seeing this, Djaraff insist on receiving a *small* cow (calf?) as
losers' trophy. Moreover, the best player of the final and the topscorer
also want their prize in nature, as a small animal (pig or chicken).
Unfortunately the organisation have no money to buy any more animals and
in the end only the Catacumba players can celebrate their victory running
around their stadium with their grass-eating trophy.
