Notes:

^ Tiras Tiraspol changed name to Serif before the season.
^ cannot be promoted
^ Energetic were allowed entrance as champions of Transnistru (as were Cimentul for 1996/97).
^ Unisport-2 Chisinau merged with TTA (Termotransauto) Straseni, a team also losing in last seasons promotion playoffs.
^ Avintul were given a place despite losing in the promotion playoff last season, apparently because Cristalul Ghindesti disappeared.

Promoted: Sheriff Tiraspol
