Thereby, the potential candidates for one spot left in Europa League were Kaisar, Zhetysu, Shakhter and Okzhetpes. Kaisar and Shakhter were, however, denied a license and Zhetysu eventually withdrew from Europe due to financial difficulties.

|hth_ESB=On 16 November 2008 FFK board decided not to change the competition format for the 2009 season, what meant that it would feature the same number of teams (16). Since there were four teams originally scheduled to be relegated at the end of the season, the board decided to save from relegation Esil Bogatyr (due to higher number of points) and Vostok (due to importance of the team for the development of football in the East region of Kazakhstan).[http://www.kff.kz/2314 В Алматы прошла пресс-конференция, посвященная решениям, принятым Исполкомом ФФК 16 ноября на своем заседании.] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081221212309/http://www.kff.kz/2314 |date=2008-12-21 }} {{in lang|ru}} However, after two withdrawals the 2009 season features 14 teams.
