Premier World League – Group C Round 18 Review
Round 18 of Group C in the Premier World League has shaken up the standings yet again, with some key wins at the top and more drama in the relegation fight. Let’s break it down.
🏆 Title Race Tightens
Urawa Reds (JAP) have taken the top spot after a strong 2-1 home victory, moving to 51 points with a stellar goal difference of +34. Their form has been ruthless — five straight wins — and they’re looking unstoppable heading into the final stretch.
Bolívar (BOL) slipped to 2nd but remain level on points (51). Their recent draw slowed momentum, but their attack continues to be one of the best in the league.
FC Tokyo (JAP) stay in 3rd on 50 points, keeping the pressure on the leaders. Their away record remains solid, and they’re still in striking distance of first place.
📈 Movers and Shakers
-
Newell’s Old Boys (ARG) climbed to 4th after another solid result. With 48 points, they’re only 3 behind the leaders — an outside shot at the title is still alive.

Cerezo Osaka (JAP) hold 5th with 46 points but have shown some inconsistency away from home.
In the middle of the pack, York United FC (CND) and Manchester City (UK) both grabbed crucial wins, keeping themselves in the hunt for continental qualification spots.
⚠ Trouble at the Bottom
The relegation zone is getting intense.
-
New York Red Bulls (USA) and Juventus (ITA) sit on 21 points each, with their poor form keeping them in danger.
-
Borussia Dortmund (GER), Santos (BRA), and Austin FC (USA) are all struggling, failing to turn good performances into wins.

America (MEX) remain rock bottom with just 12 points and a dreadful -29 goal difference. Their survival hopes look slim with only a handful of matches left.
