Leaders Set Up Dhaka Showdown

The Academy and Dhaka Abahani Limited both handled routine business, keeping the gap at three points before their decisive meeting.

The sharper story came behind them: FC Păduricea beat FC Hermannstadt 4:0, and Straw Hat Pirates defeated Moldavian Stars 2:0 to pull level on points with them.

The next round brings two important tests for the international race. Ferencváros face Straw Hat Pirates, with second place and the Challenge Cup route under pressure. FC Hermannstadt meet Moldavian Stars in another direct upper-table clash, while their upcoming cup final against Dacians White Wolves could still offer a separate path to the Challenge Cup.

Pretor Hold Firm as the Chasing Pack Tightens

F.C.PRETOR strengthened their grip on first place with a composed 2:0 victory over FC Dinamo București., while none of their closest rivals managed to make up ground. Abatorul Slobozia were held to a goalless draw by defending champions FC 23 Mai Onesti, leaving the leaders one point clear at the summit. Navigator kept the pressure on by edging Soimii I.P.A. Sibiu 1:0, preserving their place within striking distance of the Champions Cup and Challenge Cup positions.

Elsewhere, AFC Atletico Mangalia and VITEZISTII4S™ shared the points in a balanced 1:1 contest, while Podgoria Murfatlar and FC Univ. Craiova also cancelled each other out. The draw did little to help either side, with both remaining just outside the international qualification places. Atletico's point also carries extra significance with the domestic cup final still to come against Abatorul Slobozia. Since both finalists are already among the league's top contenders, the outcome could have a major impact on who ultimately claims the additional Challenge Cup berth.

At the other end of the table, Clubul Sportiv al Armatei produced the result of the round by defeating East Strike 5:2. Aloisio Linhares scored twice, taking his tally to four for the season, as his side climbed closer to safety. East Strike's defeat leaves them looking nervously over their shoulders, while FC Dinamo București. remain rooted to the bottom and FC 23 Mai Onesti are still far too close to the relegation places for a reigning champion.

The upcoming fixtures could reshape both battles. The headline clash sees second-placed Abatorul Slobozia host third-placed Navigator in a direct contest with enormous implications for the title race. Pretor face another stern examination away to FC Univ. Craiova, while Atletico and Podgoria meet in another match featuring genuine contenders for the international places. At the bottom, Dinamo's meeting with Clubul Sportiv al Armatei could prove decisive, while East Strike cannot afford another setback against Soimii I.P.A. Sibiu.

Beringen Win Heavyweight Test as the Chase Rearranges

Beringen United Mightyred kept their two-point lead at the top with one of their most important wins of the season, beating defending champions Atletico De Madrid 1:0. Frans Farrugia scored the decisive goal and moved onto 10 league goals, giving Beringen another firm step toward the Champions Cup ticket.

Rougemont Rovers moved back into second with a strong 3:1 win over Phantom Force FC, while crystal palace f.c stayed just one point behind them after edging Crawley Wildcats 1:0. Atletico’s defeat leaves them five points off second, though their domestic cup final against Gravediggers still gives them another possible route to a Challenge Cup ticket. Gravediggers also remain relevant in that picture after beating Albion Allstars 2:0, with Jarvis Harman scoring twice to reach 14 league goals.

At the bottom, Merlin Magic XI gave themselves a major lift with a huge win over Chester Ducks, climbing two points clear of the relegation zone. Albion Allstars remain level with Merlin on points, while Chester, The Red Devils Stars and Crawley still occupy the bottom three. Crawley are now mathematically relegated, while Chester and Red Devils remain close enough to make the survival battle tense.

The next round keeps pressure on both ends of the table. Beringen face a dangerous trip to Merlin, who suddenly have momentum, while Rougemont meet Chester and crystal palace host Red Devils in matches that could affect both the title race and the relegation fight. Atletico must respond away to Heeley Harriers, and Albion’s meeting with Phantom Force could be crucial if Chester or Red Devils find a result.

Oldboys Keep Valur at Arm’s Length

Oldboys United and Football club Valur both won comfortably, so the gap at the top stays at three points.

Valur now face Junkers United in the sharper league test, while Oldboys look to stay in control. Their cup final meeting still promises another decisive chapter.

Villa Stay Top as the Pack Closes In

Irish Villa Mob remain in control of the Champions Cup ticket, but their 2:2 draw with Red Forest made the title race tighter again. Eoin Kean scored twice to move onto 11 league goals, but Red Forest refused to fold, with Amel Merdanovic also climbing to 12 in the scoring chart.

Behind them, Knockea United edged SportingHaroldsCross 2:1 to move within two points of second, while Hibernia matched them on 31 points after a controlled 2:0 win over Harchester United.

The cup picture adds another layer. Leinster Lions and Myaella Fc will contest the national cup final, meaning the Challenge Cup route could still open outside the top two. Myaella boosted their own survival hopes with a 1:0 win over Balbriggan United FC, drawing level with Irish Knights on 21 points, though they remain in the bottom three on goal difference.

At the bottom, Balbriggan and Harchester are now in serious trouble, with Myaella 11 and 15 points ahead of them respectively. For Myaella, the task is more immediate: turn their cup-final momentum into enough league points to overtake Irish Knights and escape the relegation zone.

The next round brings a huge top-two clash as Irish Villa host fast n fit, while Knockea face Myaella in a match carrying weight at both ends. Hibernia visit Leinster in another important test, and SportingHaroldsCross against Irish Knights could further shape both the international chase and the survival battle.

Fife Dent Kirn as Wallace Keep the Chase Alive

Belgrade Restore Order as Arsenal Win the Survival Six-Pointer

Belgrade City responded exactly as champions are expected to respond, following their heavy defeat to FK Radnik Bijeljina with a clean 3:0 win over Marcos FMC. The result keeps them five points clear at the top and firmly in control of the Champions Cup ticket, with Marko Jemc and Viorel Moraru both moving to five league goals.

Kasovac Maratonci stayed second after an important 3:2 win over Mocni Veprovi, powered by two more goals from Bogdan Radosevic, who is now on 14 for the season. Behind them, FK Hajduk Sydney 06' edged Club de Futbol Dve Sarme 2:1 to remain firmly in the Challenge Cup race, while also keeping their national cup final route alive. F.C. Mali Supermeni made the other major statement, beating Radnik 3:0 to move level with them on 28 points.

The relegation battle produced a crucial result, as Arsenal RK beat ФК Анђелија 1:0 in a direct fight near the bottom. Arsenal remain in the relegation zone, but they are now only one point behind Shooting Stars SC and two behind Dve Sarme. ФК Анђелија are two points further back, while Marcos are in increasingly serious danger at the foot of the table.

The next round gives Belgrade a chance to strengthen their lead against Shooting Stars, but the visitors badly need points to protect their place above the drop zone. Kasovac face a dangerous trip to ФК Анђелија, while Hajduk visit Mocni Veprovi and Mali travel to Marcos. The meeting between FK Lokomotiva United and Arsenal could be decisive at both ends, with Lokomotiva still chasing the international places and Arsenal fighting for survival.

Olimpija Hold the Lead as Third Place Gains Weight

Olimpija FC strengthened their grip on first place with a solid 2:0 win over Kapfenberg SV, keeping a two-point lead in the race for the Champions Cup ticket. Behind them, NO MA´AM and BLλCK MESA remain level on points, with NO MA´AM holding second place and the current Challenge Cup spot. That makes BLλCK MESA’s position especially interesting, as cup finalists Olimpija and NO MA´AM are also the top two in the league.

AC Sienna were held 0:0 by TRABZONSP0R, while Wolfsberger edged SV Austria 1933 2:1 in one of the tighter contests of the round. Next, NO MA´AM face a tricky test against TRABZONSP0R, while AC Sienna meet Maribor FC and Kapfenberg SV host Wolfsberger.

Dragons Pull Clear as Sarajevo Slip Again

BH Dragons seized control of the title race with a professional 3:1 win over FC Humci, moving three points clear at the top after FK Sarajevo 1946 fell to a second straight defeat. Jakob Zangerl scored twice to reach seven league goals, while Zijad Krdzic also found the net and moved into double figures.

Sarajevo’s 1:0 loss to FC Peacocks almighty keeps them in the Challenge Cup position, but the gap behind them is no longer comfortable. PARTIZAN FK strengthened third place with an emphatic 4:1 win over F.C. Imperial, with Trpimir Veslica joining Lukas Skovira at the top of the scoring chart on 14 goals. Peacocks, meanwhile, remain part of the crowded chase and still have the national cup final against FK Ljiljan as another possible route to a Challenge Cup ticket.

The relegation fight also sharpened. NK Asim beat FK Baščaršija 2:1 in a crucial bottom-three meeting, but they remain four points behind safety. Baščaršija are now in deep trouble, while FC Humci are officially heading down after another defeat left them stranded at the foot of the table.

The next round brings a major test for Sarajevo, who face PARTIZAN in a match that could either steady their grip on second or pull the challengers closer. Dragons host The Nobles with the chance to protect their lead, while Imperial against Blaugrana F.C is a direct clash among the teams level on 29 points. At the bottom, NK Asim’s meeting with FK Ljiljan could be decisive, with survival still within reach if Asim can turn their latest win into a run.

Val and Kazanlŭk Split the Spoils

Val United and Kazanlŭk Thracians FC drew 2:2, a result that suited the top two more than either challenger.

CSKA Sofia and Vereya F.C. remain locked together at the top, with Lazio_1900 still three points back. The next round looks calmer, but Lazio and Val already have their cup final looming.

Hunyadi Respond as FTC Drop Points

Hunyadi János answered last round’s setback with a 4:2 win over Football Club SKA-Khabarovsk, restoring control at the top while FTC Isti were held by Football club Pécs.

Szeged remain six points behind, with their cup final against Hunyadi still giving the season another edge. Next, SKA meet Pécs, while the fight for third could become crucial if the top two decide the cup route.

San Stefano Blow the Title Race Wide Open

San Stefano FC delivered the result of the round, beating leaders For The Alliance 2:1 and turning the title race into a three-team sprint. The promoted side are now only two points off first place, while For The Alliance saw their cushion cut to a single point after entering the round with more room to breathe.

Nottingham Forest FC were the other major winners near the top, edging STORMWIND 2:1 to move within one point of the leaders. Their league position already has them in the Challenge Cup place, and their domestic cup final against OFK BAR adds another important layer to the international ticket picture. Club Atlético de Madrid S.A.D. also stayed within reach of the top three after a 3:1 win over Newcastle United FC, with Pawel Kreczynski reaching 11 league goals.

The relegation battle tightened again. Returnees earned a vital 2:1 win over FC Mornar Bar, lifting themselves three points above the drop zone and leaving Mornar bottom on 12 points. Newcastle United FC remain two points above them, while STORMWIND sit just one point behind safety after their defeat. OFK Titograd Podgorica remain the team directly above the line after a goalless draw with O.F.K. Ostrog.

The next round is headlined by For The Alliance against Nottingham, a direct clash that could change first place entirely. San Stefano visit Newcastle with a chance to keep pushing both title rivals, while Returnees against OFK BAR and STORMWIND against Ostrog carry major weight near the bottom. FC Mornar Bar face Atlético needing an upset to avoid being cut further adrift.

Red Bull Stretch the Gap as Podgurje Revive Survival Hopes

FC Soccer Academy Red Bull took another major step toward the Champions Cup ticket with a tight 1:0 win over Neverwalkalone. With Grosuplje Dreamteam held 1:1 by Alkosi i drogeraši, the leaders stretched their advantage to six points and now control both the league race and their own cup-final storyline.

The battle behind them remains crowded. Dreamteam still hold second place and the Challenge Cup position, but Neverwalkalone and Borussia Dortmund remain close enough to keep the pressure on. Borussia produced the biggest attacking performance of the round, beating NK Plesh United 5:2, with Joao Palts and Lucan Arcuri both moving to five league goals. Inter Miami CF also stayed level with Alkosi and FC Loče Soccer Academy on 25 points after edging Manchester United FC 1:0.

The relegation fight changed shape after FC Podgurje beat Grosuplje FC 3:1. Podgurje remain in the bottom three, but they are now only one point behind NK Plesh and safety. NK Jesihdorf slipped to eleventh after a 3:0 defeat to Loče, while Manchester United remain last, four points from safety.

The next round brings a crucial survival meeting between Podgurje and NK Plesh, with a chance for Podgurje to climb out of the relegation zone. Red Bull visit Manchester United looking to protect their lead, while Dreamteam face Loče in a difficult test for second place. Borussia against Inter could also prove important in the crowded chase behind the top two.

Goldstar and Hammertime Set Up a Title Showdown

FC Goldstar kept their one-point lead at the top with a narrow but highly valuable 1:0 win over THE VILLABOYS. It was exactly the kind of result champions need at this stage of the season: controlled, efficient and taken against a direct rival near the international places. Goldstar remain in position for the Champions Cup ticket and now head into the decisive clash with their closest challenger.

hammertime answered with a strong 3:1 victory over Sasboys, keeping the pressure on and preserving second place, which currently carries the Challenge Cup ticket. Noe Guilllaume scored again and moved to 18 league goals, while hammertime’s win left kfc de preistampers four points behind after their 2:2 draw with EA SERREKES. SC Betekom climbed into the crowded mid-table chase with a 5:1 win over Fc Bijou, while Merchtem2016 also moved to 25 points after beating promoted Forza Gellik.

The cup picture could still complicate the Challenge Cup race. Goldstar have already reached the national cup final against Merchtem2016, so if they complete a league-and-cup double, the cup route would send Merchtem toward the Challenge Cup instead. That makes Merchtem’s late-season form particularly relevant, even if their league position remains outside the top two.

At the bottom, Club Internationale earned a point against AS Beveren, keeping them six points above the relegation zone. Beveren remain in danger on 14 points, with Forza two points further back, while EA SERREKES sit just above the pressure line on 22. The upcoming meeting between Fc Bijou and Beveren gives the bottom two a chance to apply pressure, but the headline belongs to Goldstar against hammertime, a direct fight for first place.

Sá City Pull Clear as Sá FC Slip in the Chase

Sá City Futebol Clube strengthened their grip on first place with a hard-fought 2:1 win over FC Saense, moving three points clear in the race for the Champions Cup ticket. With Sá FC losing 2:0 away to Vale Pisão, the leaders made the most of a difficult round for their closest challenger.

The battle for second place is now wide open. Sá FC still hold the Challenge Cup position, but only on goal difference after S. C. Pena d´Alva drew 0:0 with defending champions Galacticos C.P.. Galacticos remain just one point behind both of them, while Futebol Clube do Porto kept themselves in the conversation with a narrow 1:0 win over Sumolix Stars. That result also pulled Porto level with Sumolix on 28 points and made the chasing pack even tighter.

The cup final adds another layer to the international race, with Sá FC set to meet Galacticos. If Sá FC stay second, the league route already gets them a Challenge Cup ticket, while Galacticos may still have the cup as their clearest path to it. With only four points separating second from sixth, every slip now carries double weight.

At the bottom, Grupo Desportivo de Sá took a major step toward safety by beating Sport Lisboa e Benfica 3:0, opening a three-point gap over Desidrogenase Alcoólica. Desidrogenase fought hard but lost 3:2 to Sport Machados da Surriba, while Benfica remain last and nine points from safety.

The next round brings a major test for the leaders away to Porto, while Sá FC must respond against Machados. Pena visit Saense, Galacticos host Desidrogenase, and Sumolix face Grupo in a match that matters both for the Challenge Cup chase and the relegation fight.

Academy and Slovenia Keep the Second-Place Duel Tight

Norrlandsfotboll FC stayed perfect with a 2:0 win over Eneby BK, stretching their flawless league run and keeping the Champions Cup ticket almost within reach. The bigger tension remains behind them, where Swedish Academy edged Bałtyk Gdynia 1:0 and Slovenia Dreamteam answered with a 3:1 win over Uppsala Kickers. Both are level on points, with Swedish Academy still holding the Challenge Cup place on goal difference.

The next set of matches keeps that race alive. Slovenia Dreamteam face a demanding test against Eneby BK, while Swedish Academy meet Uppsala Kickers. IFK Hägersten against Bałtyk Gdynia also matters in the upper half. Slovenia’s cup final against Norrlandsfotboll could yet offer another Challenge Cup route.

Steelheads Stay Clear as KOFA and Schönspieler Keep Pushing

The steelheads kept their three-point lead at the top and remain on course for the Champions Cup ticket, with Luis Portal Frias scoring four times to reach 20 league goals. FC Albisrieden answered with a tight 2:1 win over FC Appenzell, holding the Challenge Cup place and keeping pressure on the leaders. Behind them, FC KOFA beat HyperVibes 3:1, while fc schönspieler edged NK Bugojno 1:0 to stay level with KOFA and keep their league-and-cup ambitions alive.

The next round brings a major test for the leaders as The steelheads host Fc Black Panther. FC Albisrieden visit Stadtaffe, while NK Bugojno face FC KOFA. At the bottom, Swiss Dribblers, Fussballclub Zürich and Stadtaffe remain in the relegation places, with Appenzell and Terror City still looking over their shoulders.

Kouba Keep Marching as the Bottom Four Compress

RC Kouba kept firm control of the Champions Cup race with a 2:1 win over USM.GAZA, restoring their nine-point lead at the top. Pascual Marques scored again to reach 10 league goals, while Dinko Rodic moved to six, giving Kouba another efficient result before their heavyweight meeting with second-placed Itihad.Riadi.Ouled.Nail.

Itihad also did their part, beating Kahla & Hamra 3:1 to stay in the Challenge Cup position. Makhosonke Kananji reached eight goals, while Semiray Tugra and Andre Nordrum also added to the total. Just behind them, defending champions alger united remain only one point back after a 2:1 win over Ouchène Irougueln, with Hamza Le Roux and Nacir Bouaicha both moving to seven goals.

The cup picture gives USM.GAZA a much clearer international route than their league position suggests. With RC Kouba leading the table and also in the national cup final, USM.GAZA would receive the cup route to the Challenge Cup if Kouba finish either first or second. Only if Kouba drop to third or lower would USM.GAZA need to win the final themselves to reach next season’s Challenge Cup.

At the bottom, the pressure is rising fast. MPAlger earned a useful 1:1 draw with WATlemcen & CCSig, but remain in the relegation zone alongside Ouchène Irougueln and Kahla. Only three points separate ninth from twelfth, while M.C.Algiers and USM.GAZA are still within reach of the danger line.

The next round is led by Itihad against Kouba, a direct test of whether the title race can be reopened. At the bottom, MPAlger against Ouchène is a true survival clash, while M.C.Algiers against USM.GAZA and Mouloudia against Kahla could reshape the relegation fight again.

Blooming Win the Chase Duel

Blooming made the round’s key statement, beating Juan Carlo Balón 2:0 to stay three points behind perfect leaders Royal Pari.

Club Bolívar remain level with Juan Carlo Balón and now get the next major test against Blooming. With Royal Pari and Blooming also set for the cup final, third place could yet become a route into the Challenge Cup.

Udi Extend Their Lead as Guará Slip Again

Udi City F.C did not get the win, but their 1:1 draw with Na Canela™ still strengthened their grip on the Champions Cup ticket. Vern Mellerud scored to reach seven league goals, and with Guará E.C losing 2:1 to Touro do Sertão, the leaders are now seven points clear with only four matches left.

Guará remain second and still hold the Challenge Cup place, but the chasing pack is now close enough to make the finish tense. Touro do Sertão joined Candal FC, Geny F.C and São Paulo F.C. on 27 points after their valuable away win, with Manuel Sagardoy Arce moving to six goals and Eudes Aguiar opening his account. Geny also made an important move, beating Nivek United 1:0 through Nazif Ozbilek, who now has nine for the season.

The relegation battle remains tight, but the bottom three missed a chance to close the gap more sharply. Sport Club Flecha and Esporte Clube Cajueiro drew 2:2, a result that kept Flecha three points behind safety and Cajueiro eight behind safety. Piraloku FC earned a useful 0:0 against Candal, but they are still six points behind Na Canela™.

The next round could be decisive at both ends. Udi face Geny in a difficult test for the leaders, while Guará must respond against Avanti Palestra!. The key relegation clash is Cajueiro against Piraloku, where neither side can afford to merely survive the match. Flecha also need points against São Paulo to keep Na Canela within reach.

Newmarket Rock the Leaders as Taher Cut the Gap

FC Newmarket delivered the round’s biggest result, beating North Mississauga SC 3:2 and tightening the race for the Champions Cup ticket. Football club de Taher took full advantage with a 2:1 win over NorVan FC, moving to within two points of the leaders while keeping a firm grip on second place and the Challenge Cup spot. Behind them, Bulletproof Monks made a strong statement by defeating The Lads 3:0, pulling within one point of third.

The next round brings a major test for North Mississauga SC, who face The Lads while trying to steady themselves after defeat. Football club de Taher have a chance to keep the pressure on, and Quebec Football Club meet Étoile Bordjienne in an important upper-table clash. Quebec also remain alive through the national cup final against North Mississauga.

MEWA Survive Geminis as the Top Three Stay Locked

Fc MEWA stayed two points clear in the race for the Champions Cup ticket, but only after a tense 3:2 win over Real Geminis. Djordje Danicic scored twice to help the leaders through a difficult test. Assisi Lagos Nueva Galicia, last season’s champions, kept pace with a narrow 1:0 win at C.D. Guadalajara, while Octopus MX remained level with Assisi by edging Perro Loko FC 1:0.

The next round could sharpen the title race again. Assisi Lagos Nueva Galicia face Panteras Negras UAM, while Fc MEWA meet C.D. Guadalajara and Octopus MX visit C. D. Jorge Campos. With MEWA and Assisi also set for the national cup final, third place could still become very valuable in the Challenge Cup picture.

Seher Steady the Lead as TeamScout Answer Back

FC Seher Bosna kept their Champions Cup push on track with a 3:0 win over Velez SC, with Manolo Barros scoring twice and Spass Bojichkov adding another. TeamScout stayed within three points after a strong 3:1 win over New Jersey Stars, while SC Real Madrid beat Galaxy LA 3:1 to stay clear in the upper middle. NY Cosmos also moved closer to the top four by defeating mexico city.

The next round gives TeamScout a serious test against Velez SC, while FC Seher Bosna visit Galaxy LA. SC Real Madrid against Telluride Smugglers could reshape the chase. At the bottom, Rockledge FL, Beyond and Atlanta Kookaburras occupy the relegation places, with Beyond and Atlanta meeting next.
