2228-29 OFA Pro Golden League
Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/home4/iltornan/lua/error.log): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory The 2228–29 OFA Pro Golden League or OFA Pro Golden League season 1 was the 1st season of the OFA Pro Golden League, the top English professional league for association football clubs, since its re-launch in 2228. It was the 92nd season of top flight professional football in Osarius. The season began on 16 August 2228, and concluded on 1 May 2229.
Hastmead Diamante began the season as defending national champions, having finished higher than all other Osarian representatives in LigAnaia the previous season. Dynapolis United made a return to the Osarian league after a lengthy absence, while Cartagena Desert Foxes made their first appearance. There was no formal promotion from the previous season, due to the realignment of the Osarian league system, but Burningham City had to win a playoff to remain in the top flight.
In the previous season, the OLAF Golden League had been the third tier of Osarian football, below the two tiers of the COCANEFA-run LigAnaia. Technically, the reigning Golden League champions were Kyoshiku Island, who were granted "promotion" accordingly. They joined all but the lowest finishing Osarian LigAnaia team (Burningham City), while the remaining three places were determined via three playoff ties.

Inaugural playoffs
The teams finishing 2nd through 4th in the previous season's Golden League (Violia, Warton Villa, Littleshaw Village) were paired off against the two external entrants (Cartagena and Dynapolis) and the lowest finishing Osarian representative from LigAnaia season 14 (Burningham) in two-legged playoff ties to determine the remaining three spots in the relaunched OFA Pro Golden League's inaugural season. The matchups were drawn randomly, with the teams playing in the Golden League the previous season being designated the away team for each of the first leg games.
