TP Mazembe have been declared champions of the Vodacom Ligue 1 after the season was cancelled due to the Coronavirus outbreak.

Mazembe have now won the title for a second straight successive time having won it in the 2019 season.

The DRC Football Association (FECOFA) has decided to stop the 2019-2020 Ligue 1 season permanently and awarded the title to Mazembe who occupied first place when the competition was stopped due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Ravens were on 53 points in the 20 games played with them now adding another crown to make it 18 league tites.

TP Mazembe will participate in the CAF Champions League together with AS Vita Club who are runners up on 42 points with 21 games.

Maniema Union on 40 points will finish third and qualify for the Confederation Cup.

In the lower ranks, in Ligue 2, it is Jeunesse Sportive de Kinshasa and Étoile Jaune of Lubumbashi who find themselves promoted to the elite League.

Bukavu Dawa and Nyuki will be relegated from Ligue 1 to Ligue 2.
