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 Kotify Daau Super League for sponsorship reasons.
Current champions are Daas City FC, who are the current title leaders with 2 championship to their name.
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
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.
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.
Clubs
There is one non-Dauian club that currently competes in the Daau Super League – Cheetahs XII - A Matabese developmental club based in Mataba.
