The Ingwenyama Cup, financially rolled by Sincephetelo Motor Vehicle Accident Fund (SMVAF) contributes over E3.2 million per year. The other main knockout tournament is the Eswatini Bank Cup with a sponsorship of over E3.4 million which also caters for the Under-20s.

Esibayeni Lodge sponsors the Under-17 League with E200 000.

In the PLE executive committee summary, Chief Operations Officer (COO) Pat Vilakati admitted the just nullified 2019/20 season was a different one altogether following the worldwide outbreak of Covid-19.

“The continuous efforts by our Board of Governors cannot be overlooked which even during these difficult times continues to run from pillar to post trying to ensure that administrative issues are dealt with accordingly,” Vilakati said.

Eswatini Football Association (EFA) suspended all football activities as of March 31 up until August 20 where the season was declared over.
