🏆 League 2 – Group A (2026 Season)
Round 21 Recap
The 2026 campaign has reached the halfway mark (21 of 46 rounds), and the battle for promotion, playoff positioning, and survival is already heating up. With only one automatic promotion spot available and multiple cup and playoff positions on the line, every point is proving crucial.
📊 Top of the Table — Promotion Race
1st — Chankas CYC (48 pts)
Chankas CYC remain firmly on top and currently hold the only automatic promotion spot to the World Premier League. Their consistent form and strong goal difference (+33) have made them the team to beat at the halfway stage.
2nd — Vancouver Whitecaps (47 pts)
Just one point behind, Vancouver are applying heavy pressure and remain a serious threat to take the top spot.
3rd — Pachuca (43 pts)
Pachuca continues to stay within striking distance thanks to a powerful attack (58 goals scored).
4th — Fulham (41 pts)
Holding strong inside the playoff zone with solid recent form.
5th — Fortaleza (40 pts)
Maintaining momentum and staying competitive in the upper tier.
6th — AC Milan (39 pts)
Climbing steadily and looking increasingly dangerous heading into the second half of the season.
7th — Botafogo (39 pts)
Neck-and-neck with Milan, showing strong attacking output.
8th — FC Copenhagen (38 pts)
Still comfortably inside the playoff zone, though competition below is tightening.
9th — Caracas FC (36 pts)
Currently holding the final playoff position, but their margin is shrinking.
⚔️ Mid-Table Battles — Cup Qualification
10th — Ajax (32 pts)
As it stands, Ajax would qualify for the Friendly Cup. However, they are only narrowly ahead of challengers and cannot afford a slump.
11th — Cartaginés (32 pts)
Currently in the King’s Cup qualification spot, but level on points with Ajax and under pressure from below.
📉 Lower Mid-Table — Danger Approaching
Clubs like Middlesbrough (29 pts), Atlético Indio (28 pts), and Sol de América (26 pts) remain safe for now but are drifting away from playoff contention. A strong run in the second half will be needed to re-enter the promotion conversation.
🚨 Relegation Watch
At the bottom of the standings, the fight to avoid relegation to League III is intensifying.
22nd — Olmedo (14 pts)
Struggling defensively and slipping further behind the safety line.
23rd — Dalian Shide (12 pts)
Currently in the drop zone and in urgent need of points.
24th — Alianza FC (9 pts)
Bottom of the table and facing a difficult road to survival.
