🏆 League 2 – Group A
2026 Season | Round 9 Recap (of 46 Rounds)
After nine rounds, the table is beginning to take shape, but with 37 matches still to play, nothing is settled yet. Promotion dreams, playoff battles, and relegation fears are already emerging.
🔝 Promotion Race
1st place – Automatic Promotion to the World Premier League
🥇 AC Milan (ITA)
AC Milan sit top of Group A with 22 points, boasting the strongest goal difference in the league. Their recent form has been excellent, and at this stage they are firmly in control of the only automatic promotion spot. Still, with a long season ahead, consistency will be key.
🎯 Playoff Positions (2nd–9th)
Teams finishing 2nd through 9th qualify for the playoffs, and this zone is extremely competitive.
-
2. Ajax (NEATH) – 19 pts
-
3. Vancouver Whitecaps – 17 pts
-
4. Chankas CYC (PER) – 17 pts
-
5. Fortaleza (BRA) – 16 pts
-
6. Caracas FC (VEN) – 16 pts
-
7. Cartagines (CTR) – 16 pts
-
8. Pachuca (MEX) – 15 pts
-
9. Tout Puissant Mazembe – 14 pts
Only five points separate 2nd from 9th, meaning a single strong or weak round could completely reshuffle the playoff picture. Expect fierce battles in the weeks ahead.
🏟️ Cup Qualification Spots
-
10th – Friendly Cup: Bahia (BRA) – 13 pts
-
11th – King’s Cup: Fulham (UK) – 13 pts
Both clubs are just outside the playoff zone and remain well within striking distance. A push in the next few rounds could lift them back into contention.
⚠️ Lower Mid-Table Pressure
Positions 12th to 22nd are tightly packed, with many teams hovering dangerously close to the relegation zone. A poor run of form could quickly drag any of these sides into serious trouble.
🔻 Relegation Zone
Bottom two are relegated to League III
🚨 23. Defence Force (TB) – 4 pts
🚨 24. Raja (MOR) – 2 pts
Both clubs are already under heavy pressure after nine rounds. With large goal deficits and limited points, they need a dramatic turnaround to escape relegation.
📊 Summary
-
AC Milan lead the way and currently hold the promotion spot
-
The playoff race (2nd–9th) is incredibly tight
-
Bahia and Fulham sit just outside the playoffs
-
Defence Force and Raja are in early relegation danger
-
46-round season means plenty of twists still to come
