The league saw growth by two teams when FC Craiova Sud and Vinland Berserkers joined as expansion clubs while all 7 clubs from the previous season returned. With 9 teams onboard for the league's fifteenth campaign, the league was at its largest size since Season V. While the Berserkers were a completely new outfit, FC Craiova Sud was a re-birth under their former manager Ratonbox who managed the original club for three seasons between Season II and Season IV - winning the Nordreich Liga regular season championship in Season III.
