The 2022–23 Premier League of Eswatini was the 2022–23 season of the Premier League of Eswatini, the top-tier football league in Eswatini[1] It was won by Green Mamba.[2]
Season
[edit]With four teams having been relegated the previous season, and only two promoted, the league was reduced from 16 to 14 teams. In addition, Nsingizini Hotspurs purchased the status of Vovovo.[3][4]
The league faced numerous logistical difficulties, in particular ambulances, with a player being taken to hospital by private car in one incident, and in another, fans being required to push an ambulance that was attempting to take an injured player to hospital.[5]
