The 2020 edition of FFAS Senior League – the top league from American Samoa – is likely to begin in August. Pago Youth is the currently local champions as they won the league last year but they withdrew from playing 2020 OFC Champions League. It is important to remember that American Samoa was affected by the measles outbreak that forced the 2019 FFAS Senior League to be called off.
