2018 Third Division Football Tournament champions[1] Rock Street Sports Club decided not to play in second division despite promotion, relegating them to Maldivian Third Division Football Tournament.[2]

On 13 October 2019, President of Football Association of Maldives, Bassam Adeel Jaleel, announced that Maldives Under 19 would compete in the Second Division Football Tournament from the 2020 season onward.[3]

The winners of the semi-finals, Club Valencia and Super United Sports, advanced to the final, with gaining automatic promotion[4] to the Dhivehi Premier League for the following season, as New Radiant Sports Club and Victory Sports Club were both suspended. Both New Radiant and Victory would have to play in the Second Division Football Tournament even if their suspension cast aside.[4]
