League III
Group D • Round 36 Recap

Round 36 delivered another dramatic shift in the League III Group D table as the season approaches its final stretch. With only 38 rounds total, every point now shapes who earns the single automatic promotion spot, who reaches the playoff zone (2nd–9th), and who secures the final Friendly Cup (10th) and King’s Cup (11–12) positions.
There is no relegation, but the fight for upward movement is fiercer than ever.

🔝 Promotion & Playoff Race Intensifies

1. Always Ready (BOL) – 65 pts

Always Ready return to 1st place, now controlling the top spot with two matches remaining. Their recent form (W W D L L) hasn’t been perfect, but the small edge may be enough—if they hold on.

2. L.D.U. Quito (ECU) – 63 pts

Slide to second place but remain just two points behind the leaders. Still firmly in promotion contention, especially given their strong defensive record.

3. Mushuc Runa S.C. (ECU) – 62 pts

Move upward and stay locked in a tight three-way chase. With 62 points, they remain a real threat for automatic promotion and a near-certainty for the playoffs.

4. Bentín Tacna Heroica (PER) – 62 pts

Another climber this round—also sitting on 62 points and keeping the race for the top spot unbelievably tight. Their away form has helped them stay in the hunt.

5. Club Destroyers (BOL) – 62 pts

A minor drop but still well inside the playoff zone. The cluster from 2nd–5th is separated by just one point, making these final matches crucial.

6. Blooming (BOL) – 61 pts

Continue their steady run near the top. A playoff berth looks extremely likely.

7. Club Plaza Colonia (URU) – 57 pts

Remain solid in 7th. Mathematically safe in the playoff race but unlikely to catch the top six.

8. San Lorenzo de Almagro (ARG) – 56 pts

Hold 8th place but suffered recent struggles (L L D L L). Their playoff position is secure, but momentum is slipping.

9. Talleres de Córdoba (ARG) – 54 pts

Stay 9th and on track for the final playoff position. Their form is mixed, but they maintain a strong enough cushion below.

🎟 Cup Qualification Line

10. Independiente del Valle (ECU) – 53 pts

Move back into 10th, which earns a place in the Friendly Cup. Their last five (L L L L D) hasn’t been great, but they still cling to the spot.

11. Deportivo Táchira (VEN) – 52 pts

Drop to 11th, currently inside the King’s Cup zone. Their poor away record (-11 GD) hasn’t helped, but the table remains close enough for a push.

12. Zamora F.C. (VEN) – 51 pts

Also in the King’s Cup position. Their recent form is uneven, but they remain within striking distance of the Friendly Cup.

⚔️ Mid-table Battles & No Relegation Pressure

13. Metropolitanos (VEN) – 50 pts

14. Defensa y Justicia (ARG) – 48 pts

15. Bucha (UKR) – 48 pts

16. Arameisk-Syrianska IF (SWE) – 38 pts

17. Centro Atlético Fénix (URU) – 34 pts

18. AIK Fotboll (SWE) – 33 pts

19. R.S.C. Anderlecht (BE) – 30 pts

20. Aledals IK (SWE) – 28 pts

None of these teams risk relegation, but they are now playing for pride, positioning, or late-season evaluation of form.

🔮 With Only 2 Matches Left…

• The battle for 1st place is incredibly close with four teams within 3 points of the top.

• Playoff spots (2–9) are essentially locked, but the order could shift dramatically.

• The race for 10th (Friendly Cup) between Independiente del Valle, Táchira, and Zamora is set to go down to the wire.

• King’s Cup spots remain fluid between 11th and 12th.

The final two rounds will decide everything—from promotion glory to final cup placements.
