APR FC are currently leading the league table with 49 points, seven ahead of second-placed Rayon Sports.

"The league is a very important competition for APR. I always tell the players that APR is a team for winning trophies,” Froger said.

At the start of the season, APR were in competing for five different trophies including the Super Cup, CAF Champions League, Mapinduzi Cup, the local league, and the Peace Cup. They were eliminated from all and now their only hope for silverware is in the league.
