SOUTHERN REGION DIVISION ONE LEAGUE 2026
ROUND 17 PREVIEW
With just two rounds remaining before the conclusion of the Southern Region Division One League, every point has become crucial as teams battle for promotion, survival, and pride. Round 17 promises excitement across all venues, with important encounters at both ends of the table.
IMPERI FOUNDATION VS PREMIER ACADEMY
Saturday, 13th June 2026 Rutile Field
This is undoubtedly the standout fixture of Round 17.
Premier Academy occupy second place on 34 points, while Imperi Foundation sit third with 33 points. Only one point separates the two sides, making this a direct battle in the race for the promotion playoff spot.
Imperi Foundation will be eager to capitalize on home advantage and leapfrog Premier Academy in the standings. A victory would move them into second place and strengthen their promotion ambitions.
Premier Academy, however, arrive in excellent form and know that another victory would further cement their position among the top teams while keeping pressure on league leaders Ram Kamara.
With two of the league's strongest teams facing off, fans should expect a tactical and highly competitive contest.
MAKPELE WARRIORS VS YAMBATUI STARS
Saturday, 13th June 2026 Zimmy Town
The relegation battle takes center stage in Zimmy Town.
Makpele Warriors remain in the relegation zone with just 8 points from 16 matches and desperately need a victory to keep their survival hopes alive.
Yambatui Stars are only seven points ahead on 15 points and cannot afford to relax. A win would almost certainly guarantee their safety, while defeat could drag them back into the relegation conversation heading into the final round.
With both teams fighting for survival, expect a fierce encounter where determination may matter just as much as quality.
WANJAMA STARS VS SEWA EAGLES
Sunday, 14th June 2026 Pujehun Town
Wanjama Stars have endured a difficult campaign and currently sit eighth with 8 points. Their survival hopes are hanging by a thread, making this a must-win encounter.
Sewa Eagles, meanwhile, have enjoyed a strong second half of the season and are currently fifth on 24 points. Although they are no longer in contention for promotion, they will be determined to finish the campaign strongly.
The Eagles will start as favorites, but Wanjama Stars know that anything less than victory could leave them facing relegation.
Playing in front of their home supporters may provide the motivation Wanjama Stars need for one final push.
RAM KAMARA VS PAT FOUNDATION
Sunday, 14th June 2026 Bo Coronation Field
All eyes will be on Bo Coronation Field as league leaders Ram Kamara host fourth-placed Pat Foundation.
Ram Kamara remain unbeaten after 15 matches and lead the table with 37 points. Another victory would move them significantly closer to securing the championship and promotion playoff place.
Pat Foundation, however, have been one of the league's most consistent sides and currently sit fourth with 31 points. While their promotion hopes have become more difficult, they still have plenty to play for and will be eager to upset the league leaders.
The first meeting between these two sides was highly competitive, and this encounter is expected to be no different.
For Ram Kamara, maintaining their unbeaten record will be the objective. For Pat Foundation, this is an opportunity to prove they can compete with the very best.
ROUND 17 AT A GLANCE
The promotion race remains wide open between Ram Kamara, Premier Academy, Imperi Foundation, and Pat Foundation.
At the other end, Wanjama Stars and Makpele Warriors are fighting to avoid relegation, while Yambatui Stars will be aiming to secure their Division One status for another season.
With only two rounds remaining, every goal, every point, and every result could prove decisive.
Round 17 promises drama, intensity, and football at its very best as the Southern Region Division One League enters its decisive stage.
