Timorense football league system
The Timorense football league system, also known as the football pyramid, is a series of interconnected leagues for association football clubs in Timor-Leste.
In 2015 FFTL officially launched the national amateur league labelled Liga Futebol Amadora (LFA). Designed to allow local footballers to flourish, the LFA will give a home to amateur football in Timor Leste, with the potential to create a gateway to professional football.[1]
Structure
At the top is the single division of the Super Liga (which is sometimes referred to as Level 1 of the league 'pyramid'), containing 8 clubs and best 4 clubs from Liga Pre, all of which, as of the 2010–11 season, are based in East Timor. Below the Super Liga is Timorense Liga Pre, which is divided into two groups of 4-5 clubs each: Liga Pre Group 1 and Liga Pre Group 2. The third tier is the Taça Digicel, containing 14 clubs, which is divided into three groups of 4-5 clubs each.
