 2026–27 Daau Super League | |
The Daau Super League (abbreviation: DSL) is a men's professional football league sanctioned by the Daau Football Association (DFA), which represents the sport's highest level in the Daau Footballing Pyramid. The league is officially known as the CHACE Daau Super League for sponsorship reasons.
Current champions are Daas City, who claimed their third DSL title.
History
After the refurbishment of the football association, the FA decided to start a professional league for the locals and therefore the then Daau Top League was founded.
The DTL season opening saw a number of clubs flocking to join with 7 local teams Darwin United (now Darwin), Tuska Central (now Tuska FC), Seragaan FC, Seragaan United, Daau FC, Jurong Punggol SC (now defunct) and Besteval Pagar United plus a foreign satellite team Tashav Union Daau. Darwin United were crowned champions of the first season. The league was renamed to Daau Super League from Daau Top League on June 7th 2019. Futher revamps were made to see a greater emphasis on local youth players in a bid to strengthen the national side; this, in effect, has resulted in a number of senior as well as local and foreign stars being purchased by overseas clubs.
Super League era
The Daau Super League was formed on June 1st 2022, by founding chairman Charles Khan and his board of directors, which formed the Daau Super League Independent Committee (DSLIC), establishing the Daau Super League Limited corporation, operating as a seperate legal entity under DAFA. The league was officially sanctioned on June 2nd as the highest professional football league by DAFA.
On April 2nd of 2023, Daas City were crowned champions of the newly formatted Daau Super League and became the record holders with 1 title to their name. Aeland Krasno Natives Daau were then relegated down to the Daau Premier League and was subsequently sent down to the Daau League following their failure at obtaining a Daau Premier League license. The league welcomed newly promoted Sembalang Knights FC, Qixying FC, Catang Evergrande and Sembalang Sentek Mariners to the league alongside Matabese side Cheetahs XII ahead of the 2023–24 Daau Super League season.
Kotify, the Dauian music streaming service provider sponsored the 2023 edition of the league which saw Daas City lift their second championship and second domestic treble. Million-dollar Vegnese marksman Mattia Dragoni became the league top scorer with 25 goals. The 2024–25 edition of the league would see a total of 14 teams participate in the league, the highest it has ever been. Mattia Dragoni would top the scoring charts for the 2024–25 season with 24 goals again, becoming the first to be named the DSL Player of The Year twice in a row. Daau United clinched the title on the final day with a 1-0 victory over rivals Daas City, securing their first DSL title.
Cheetahs XII withdrew ahead of the 2025–26 edition of the Daau Super League meaning that the 2025–26 season will be the first season the league runs without a foreign-based team. Sembalang Sentek Mariners, East Coast United and Catang Evergrande being relegated to the Daau Premier League. Jinan Island FC, Caching City FC and Seragaan FC were promoted. Expansion side Muscat DFC were also given approval to participate in place of Cheetahs XII.
Daas City FC would claim their 3rd DSL title after a heated title race with Daau United, ending the season with a 4 point lead over the Oranges to reclaim their throne. Jinan Island FC, Semkang FC and Caching City FC were relegated to the Daau Premier League. Warriors SC, Bintang Cricket Club and Mataba DPMM were promoted, with DPMM becoming the second Matabese club to enter the DSL. On June 21st 2026, it was announced that the 2026–27 season will be the final planned Daau Super League season, as the Dauian government’s involvement and support in the Dauian football system will expire on July 1st 2027, as currently there is no agreement between the Daau Football Association and the respective governmental organizations to continue granting funds towards football infrastructure in Daau.
On August 1st 2027, it was formally announced that DAFA has extended its governmental grant for the upcoming 5 fiscal years beginning 2027 to the DSL, which prolonged the league's existence for a further 2 seasons at least.
League format
Teams receive three points for a win and one point for a draw. No points are awarded for a loss. Teams are ranked by total points, then goal difference, and then goals scored.
At the end of each season, the club with the most points is crowned league champion. If the points, goal difference, goals scored, and head-to-head results between teams are equal, head-to-head records between the teams are used, followed by a better fair play record.
