The Mataba National Development Progamme Under-21's football league or Mataba NDP Under-21 league is the Mataba's premier Under-21 competition which includes all Liga Mataba clubs' under-21 side along with a few others. The league's purpose was to bring more experience to the youth players and also allow some senior team players to gain some match fitness.
The 2022–23 season will be the league's first ever season.
Format
Competition
There are 10 clubs in the league who play each other twice in a double round-robin system throughout the course of the season, once at home and once away. Teams receive three points for a win, one point for a draw, and none for a loss. Teams are ranked by points scored, then goal-difference for tie breakers. If there is still a tie, the positions will be decided based on goals scored. If there is still a tie for relevant occupancies such as the league title, qualification to any competition, or relegation, a play-off will be hosted in a home and away format to decide league standings.
