The NDU Lions were relegated after one season in the top flight after losing 1–0 to Onduparaka FC on the second to last matchday of the 2019 season.
However at the half season of BetPawa FUFA Big League, Ndejje University administration decided to disband the club citing a number of reasons including low revenue generation and poor performances. All the players that were registered in the club's system were then relieved by FUFA and considered free agents.
