ULTIMATES CUP
This season's Ultimates Cup saw two Alekiri clubs battle it out in the final, with Takishingu United ultimately prevailing over Shihon FC after penalties. Takishingu's most memorable matches were a 4-0 annihilation of Ganymeden and a convincing 4-1 victory over Janr. Kaigan Athletic were the biggest underachievers however, as they failed to progress past a weaker side from Francesca in the qualification stage.


AFA CUP
Many watched in disbelief as a recently relegated side Kyori Town lifted the cup after beating Kaigan Athletic in the final thanks to a last-minute winner. Their journey to the final was rather easy, but that does not undermine their achievement at all. It was not a cup run to remember for Atarashi City as they were knocked out in the round of 16 by FC Saitotan.


AFA SUPER CUP
Takishingu United lifted the super cup to start up this season's trophy haul, beating Atarashi City 2-0 in the final. Port Takai FC would rather forget their first super cup participation as they were decimated 4-1 in the semifinals by Atarashi City.


APL
It was an exciting race until the very last matchday between defending champions Takishingu United and newly promoted AFC Kutsu. Takishingu matched their previous season's amount of points and successfully defended the title, mainly thanks to Kutsu's inability to win the crucial matches between the two. Nobody expected Kutsu's title charge, and even though they missed out on the title, Kutsu fans will never forget this season. On the other side of the table, Atarashi FC never found form as they finished just above the relegation spots. Shihon United managed to stay up, but FC Saitotan did not share their fate as they will be replaced by Inaka Athletic.


ANL
Shizukesa Town went on a rampage after they missed out on promotion last season, claiming the title with a record 41 points. While many expected Shizukesa to top the national league, few expected AFC Kitanai and Inaka Athletic right behind them. It's a memorable season for both as they cruised past promotion favourites like DFC Takai or Kyori Town. Wasureru Wanderers sank to the very bottom on the last matchday, a disappointing finish after they finished 6th the season before.
