National Premiership League =========================== NB: to be played as single round robin; 16 participants; of these, only Mighty Barrolle, Invincible Eleven, Black Star, United Soccer Ambassadors FC, Barracks Young Controllers and FC AK Liberia actually play; 2 clubs (Roots FC and Monrovia Club Breweries) officially announced their withdrawal while 8 others (LISCR FC, Watanga, Gedi and Sons, Jasmine Rangers, Devereux, NPA Anchors, LPRC Oilers and Mighty Blue Angels) also declined to play due to a conflict with the Liberian FA over a number of issues such as; the start of the league during the rainy season; the road conditions and the safety and security of the players; and the availability of Antoinette Tubman Stadium (ATS) and the Stadium in Margibi County. Mighty Blue Angels later entered the competition after all, Gedi and Sons may have done the same.
