The title of national champion was claimed by the club "Bars" from the Issyk-Kul region, which finished one point ahead of Manas's "Muras United" in the final standings.
In the final Premier League match held in Karakol, the "Bars" team secured victory over "Talant," thus securing their championship title.
Immediately after the final whistle, a ceremonial award presentation took place. Team captain Valery Kichin received the Premier League championship trophy and gold medals from the hands of the president of the Kyrgyz Professional Football League, Asylbek Kadraliev.

The updated trophy, resembling a salad bowl (similar to the prize in the Bundesliga of Germany), was first awarded in 2020.
According to the rules, the trophy is handed over to the champion club for a period of one year, during which the KPLF concludes an agreement with the club regarding the safekeeping of the award.
"The club that receives the championship trophy is responsible for its preservation and must return it to the KPLF no later than one month before the start of the last round of the next championship," the regulations state.
In return, the champion receives a smaller replica of the trophy for permanent retention.
The first salad bowl, symbolizing the championship of Kyrgyzstan, was won by the club "Dordoi" in 2020.

In 2021, "Dordoi" managed to defend its title, keeping the trophy for another season.
In 2022, the club had a chance to keep the trophy permanently, which is only possible if a team triumphs in the championship three years in a row. However, the champion for the first time was the club "Abdysh-Ata."

The club "Abdysh-Ata" from Kanat became the permanent holder of the trophy after winning the championship three times in a row. The opportunity to take the trophy for permanent retention is also granted for every fifth championship. However, since the introduction of the new trophy, such a situation has not yet occurred.
For the 2025 season, the KPLF needed to produce a new trophy.
The championship was contested in the final round, and until the last minutes of the 26th round, it was unclear who would become the champion. This resembled the situation in the Bundesliga in the 2022-2023 season when "Borussia Dortmund" and "Bayern Munich" were contending for the title in the final round.
At that time, it was decided that the "Silver Salad Bowl" would remain at the stadium in Dortmund. Ultimately, "Mainz" managed to take points from "Borussia," and the title was claimed by "Bayern."
The KPLF decided to prevent a similar situation and made two identical salad bowls. Each of them was sent to the stadiums in Karakol and Manas, where "Bars" and "Muras United" had the opportunity to become champions.
Both teams won their matches, but the title went to "Bars," which received the salad bowl for the first time in its history.
