Auckland City FC have taken out the ISPS Handa Premiership today after a decision was made to end the season early.

New Zealand Football made the announcement today as sporting events around the world and at home continue to fall to the growing coronavirus pandemic.

Auckland held a convincing lead of 37 points at the time the decision was made, with Team Wellington placing second. 

As a result, the two teams will be granted a place in the OFC Champions League for next season.
