## League changes

During week 4 of the season, Esteghlal Veys did not take the field against Jonub Susangerd due to monetary issues. The team officially withdrew from the league prior to the start of week 5 matches. The league continued with the remaining 15 teams and Esteghlal's results were removed from league records. Week 30 was scheduled to take place prior to the New Year, however, due to bad weather conditions, the league cancelled 4 matches while playing only those matches that would alter the league champion and the team being relegated.
