The most recent entrant onto the list is Estonian club Levadia Tallinn who went unbeaten from 2008 to 2009. Levadia also won two league titles in this period. The club, which was funded by local metal firms, were the strongest team by far in the Estonian League but were ultimately beaten by Trans Narva in November 2009 on the last day of the season.

This undefeated streak came under Igor Prins, who is still the manager of the club. After losing to Trans Narva, Prin admitted that while the invincible run was something that will be remembered in history, a lot of it was due to the fact that Levadia never faced strong opponents in the league.
