HOW DOES THE NEW FORMAT WORK?

The new competition format for the Elite and Gold Leagues features 36 teams and consists of two phases – the League and Knockout phases.

The League Phase is the first phase where every team plays against 8 different opponents in 8 matches on both away and home grounds. Who goes through? 

  • Teams who finish 1st – 8th on the leaderboard directly qualify for the Rounds of 16.
  • Teams who finish in 9th – 24th place qualify for the Play-offs, where they battle it out in two-legged matches for their spot in the Knockout phase.
  • For teams finishing in 25th to 36th place, their journey in the current season ends here.

The Knockout phase will see clubs compete in rounds on both home and away grounds leading up to the big final, where the winner will qualify to play for the Ultimate Cup.

The ultimate champion of Continental Competitions is decided in the Ultimate Cup played on the last day of the season, where the winners of Elite and Gold Leagues meet. 🏆
