- Rule on Continental Qualification: Only local clubs are able to qualify for Asian Club Competitions, hence the three foreign sides of Albirex Niigata (S), Dalian Shide Siwu and Super Reds, as well as the FAS U-23 team Young Lions, will not be able to qualify for Continental Competitions.
- Home United qualified for the AFC Cup 2009 by being the highest-placed local club other than the League and Cup winners SAFFC.

Famous quotes containing the words final and/or league:
“Always and last, before the final ring
When all the fireworks blare, begins
A tom-tom scrimmage with a somewhere violin,
Some cheapest echo of them all—begins.”
—Hart Crane (1899–1932)
“We’re the victims of a disease called social prejudice, my child. These dear ladies of the law and order league are scouring out the dregs of the town. C’mon be a glorified wreck like me.”
—Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)
