The past two winners of the Southwest Regional championship have gone on to secure promotion to higher tier championships. Victoria United FC achieved the feat in 2022 as vice champions, behind Aigle Royal of Moungo. Isle of Hope Sports Academy (ISOHSA) on their part emerged champions of the 2023 competition, after going on a run of ten games without conceding, dating back from the regional playoffs.
