Eight out of the 10 clubs stated they will be ready to play by the end of January. 

Whereas Ratnam SC and Renown SC, two clubs from Kotahena, from the area which was under lockdown till very recently, expressed their concerns with the starting date as they have not been able to train their squads properly. 
 
In the coming days, the FFSL will hold an emergency meeting with these two clubs to understand how it can help and support them to get ready in time. 

Following that, FFSL will have an internal meeting to finalise tournament details such as the health regulations, ground specifics and schedules.
