MUSEI VATICANI RETAIN VATICAN CITY LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP

Musei Vaticani have retained the Vatican City championship, but they were run very close by Gendarmeria, who lost to them only after a penalty shoot-out in the final, which was played on 21 March. The final itself was put back a week after inclement weather forced the postponement of the first of a series of play-offs, which are detailed in the results list below.

The 2014-15 championship season featured a number of high-scoring matches, with Gendarmeria scoring 54 goals during the entire competition. They defeated Musei Vaticani 2:1 in the season-opener in Octoer, but Musei Vaticani side remained undefeated thereafter.

After coming top during the regular season, Musei Vaticani qualified directly for the final; the teams finishing between second and fifth in the regular season table qualified for what was described by the ACDV (Vatican City FA) as two quarter-finals in what was an extra little twist to the season, and an extra play-off (semi-final) between the winners of both quarter-finals. Gendarmeria, having scored 44 goals during the regular season, scored another nine in their two play-off matches to earn the right to meet Musei Vaticani in the final. They came close to knocking them off their perch, too; the match finished 1:1, and went straight to penalties, with the reigning champions proving the more accurate from the spot, winning 4:3 on penalties.

Please find below the results of the 2015-16 Vatican City championship.
