The 11th season for Thoe Rangers in Division 7 has been a challenging journey, marked by significant struggles on the pitch.

The season's fun fact reveals a goal difference of -68, highlighting the defensive issues that plagued the team throughout the campaign. Despite these setbacks, the squad showed resilience and a collective spirit, even if the results did not reflect their efforts.
Interestingly, the team’s top players—Willi Schneider, Antonio Castelli, Jorge Gonzalez, Pedro Chagas, and Nilson Pires—contributed in multiple ways, embodying the team-oriented approach.

This campaign serves as a foundation for learning and future improvement.
