🏆 The Promotion Race
After seven rounds, the standings are still very much in their early stages. There are 43 rounds remaining, meaning there is plenty of time for teams to make up ground.
The League III format remains crucial:
🥇 1st place → Automatic promotion to League II
🥈–9️⃣ 2nd–9th → Promotion playoffs for the second promotion spot
🔟 10th → Friendly Cup
1️⃣1️⃣–1️⃣2️⃣ 11th–12th → King's Cup
🚫 Bottom positions → No relegation
The lack of relegation gives the teams at the bottom plenty of time to turn their seasons around, while the teams currently near the top will be looking to establish an early cushion.
🔥 Seven Rounds Down, 43 to Go
The biggest winner of Round 7 was undoubtedly Metropolitanos F.C., whose remarkable 6–2 victory provided one of the strongest attacking performances we've seen in Group D so far.
Meanwhile, Talleres recovered from its Round 6 upset, and several other teams picked up valuable points in a round filled with close matches.
With 43 rounds still remaining, Group D's promotion battle is only beginning—and Round 7 proved that there will be plenty more twists along the way.
