The Central Region Football Association (CRFA) has announced that the CRFA TVM Division One League will officially conclude on Saturday, December 27, 2025, with decisive fixtures that will determine the 2024/2025 League champion.
General Secretary Antonio Manda confirmed the development in an interview with Wa Mpira, saying the association anticipates a highly competitive and exciting conclusion to the season given the narrow margins separating the title contenders.

“We urge all teams, officials, referees, players, and supporters to uphold the principles of fair play, professionalism, and integrity during these final matches,” Manda said.
He assured all football stakeholders that the association will closely monitor all fixtures to ensure strict adherence to league rules and regulations.
“Any form of misconduct, match manipulation, or behavior that undermines the integrity of the competition will be dealt with decisively in line with the governing statutes,” Manda warned.
The association has called upon football fans to turn out in large numbers to support their teams peacefully and responsibly.
Title Race Goes Down to the Wire
The battle for the title is between league leaders Chimbiya Stars and second-placed Kalembelembe FC. Only two points separate the sides with one game remaining before the end of the season.
Chimbiya Stars lead the standings with 27 points from 13 games, while Kalembelembe FC sit on 25 points. Mponela FC are third with 23 points. All three teams are assured of a place in the Chipiku Premier Division next season.
