Liga Mundo Season 25 ran from March 31, 2016 to July 3, 2016. The off-season between Liga Mundo Season 24 and Season 25 was dominated by merger discussions with the African Premier League in sounding out that league to join en masse into Liga Mundo. Despite the slight majority in favour of seeking a merger (53% in favour, 40% against, and 7% undecided), consensus still remained strong within the APL to continue with its current African format, so no agreement could be made to join Liga Mundo.
