FUFA President Moses Magogo said following consultations it was agreed that the top-flight league reverts to the old format.
“As FUFA, we have listened to the clubs and other stakeholders and agreed that we revert to the old format for this season. We will go back and make more reviews, further consultations and we will get back to it next season,” he said.
Eleven out of the 16 premier league clubs attended the meeting at FUFA House to resolve the stand -off.
