The season saw a lot of changes in the lineup of the club. Masanari Omura, who had been with the club since 2011, decided to retire, as well as keeper Louie Casas. Foreign player Patrick Asare departed the club, with local players Dylan de Bruycker and Marwin Angeles moving to Nakhon Ratchasima and Persik Kediri, respectively. Kenshiro Daniels left the club to be closer to his family in the United States, eventually joining rivals United City F.C. in March. Kaya also made a number of signings, including Philippines national football team prospect Jesse Curran, Oskari Kekkonen, Mar Diano, and Sandro Reyes from the Azkals Development Team, as well as the ADT's Jarvey Gayoso, who had previously played for the club on loan in the 2021 AFC Champions League. 2018 Philippines Football League top scorer and Senegalese forward Robert Lopez Mendy also rejoined the club from Svay Rieng in Cambodia.
