⚽ League III – Group A Round 30 Recap
The promotion battle is heating up as the season enters its final stretch, with Vancouver Whitecaps FC (CND) taking a commanding lead at the top of the table.
🏆 Promotion Race
Vancouver Whitecaps FC (CND) continue to impress, sitting 1st with 62 points after 30 games. Their dominant home form (11 wins out of 15) and a solid +50 goal difference have them firmly on track for automatic promotion to League II.
In 2nd place, Deportivo Garcilaso (PER) stays close behind with 57 points, keeping pressure on the leaders. They’ve been consistent both home and away, and are well-positioned for the promotion playoffs.
Pirata FC (PER) climbs to 3rd with 53 points, showing strong momentum in recent rounds, while Chaco Petrolero (BOL) follows closely in 4th with 51 points. Both are locked in a fierce contest for playoff seeding.
Excelsior Rotterdam (NEA) completes the current top five on 50 points, maintaining a steady run and staying well within playoff territory.
⚔️ Playoff Zone (Ranks 2–9)
The race from 2nd through 9th remains extremely tight. Just 11 points separate Deportivo Garcilaso (57) from Toronto FC (46) in 9th, meaning every result in the remaining eight rounds could shuffle the pack.
Deportes Iquique (CHI) and Club Deportivo Palestino (CHI), both sitting at 49 and 46 points, are pushing hard for stronger playoff positions, while Audax Italiano (CHI) and Toronto FC (CND) remain in the hunt.
Expect drama down the stretch as these teams battle to secure one of the eight playoff spots behind the league leader.
🤝 Friendly Cup Qualification
At 10th, PFC CSKA Moscow (RUS) currently holds the Friendly Cup qualification spot with 43 points. Their form has been up and down, but a couple of wins could even push them toward the playoff mix.
👑 King’s Cup Qualification
Dynamo Moscow (RUS) and Casa Sports (SEN) occupy 11th and 12th, both sitting at 42 and 39 points respectively. They are on course for King’s Cup entry, though Casa Sports will need to fend off mid-table challengers to hold that position.
📉 Lower Half
From 13th to 20th, teams such as AZ Alkmaar (NEA), FC Akron Tolyatti (RUS), Atlético Ottawa (CND), and SC Heerenveen (NUS) have struggled for consistency, sitting well below the top half.
At the bottom, Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao (CHN) has endured a tough campaign, sitting last with just 1 point from 30 matches and a staggering -141 goal difference. While there’s no relegation in League III, it’s been a season to forget for the Chinese side.
