The2016–17 First Professional Football League is the 93rd season of the top division of theBulgarian football league system, the 69th since a league format was adopted for the national competition of A Group as a top tier of the pyramid and also the inaugural season of theFirst Professional Football League, which decides the Bulgarian champion. The season is the first with a new league structure and strict financial criteria where 14 clubs play each other home and away, until the league is split up in championship and relegation playoffs. The new league structure, inspired by the ones used by theBelgian First Division A andDanish Superliga, was approved by theBulgarian Football Union on 6 June 2016.[8] The fixtures were announced on 8 July 2016.[9]

On 5 May 2017, five rounds before the end of the championship, after winning the away match withLokomotiv Plovdiv,Ludogorets Razgrad managed to secure the title for a sixth consecutive and overall time.[10] Ludogorets finished 16 points ahead ofCSKA Sofia.Levski Sofia finished third.

Competition format

[edit]

Starting from the 2016–17 season, a new league format was approved by theBulgarian Football Union, in an attempt to improve each participating club's competitiveness, match attendance and performance in the league, alongside strict financial criteria. It involves 14 teams playing in two phases, a regular season and playoffs. The first phase includes each club competing against every other team twice in a double round-robin system, on a home-away basis at a total of 26 games per team, also played in 26 fixtures. Seven matches are played in every fixture at a total of 182 games during the first phase. In the second phase, the top six teams form a European qualifying table, while the bottom eight teams participate in a relegation group. The winner of the top group is declared as Champions of Bulgaria and is awarded with the title.

International qualification

[edit]

The six top teams compete against each other on a home-away basis. Three matches are played in every fixture of the top six, with the results and points after the regular season also included. At the end of the stage, every team will have played a total of 36 games. The winner of the group is declared as Champions of Bulgaria and automatically secures participation in the2017-18 UEFA Champions League second qualifying round. The team that ranks second is awarded with a place in theUEFA Europa League qualifying rounds. The third team in the final standings would participate in a play-off match against a representative team from the bottom eight. Depending on the winner of theBulgarian Cup final, a possible fourth team from the first six may compete in a play-off match for an UEFA Europa League spot instead of the third ranked team.

Note: If theBulgarian Cup winner has secured its qualification for the European tournaments for the next season through results from Parva Liga, then the place in theUEFA Europa League play-off is awarded to the fourth ranked team in the final standings.

Relegation

[edit]

The teams in the bottom eight are split in two sub-groups of four teams, Group A and Group B, depending on their final position after the regular season standings. The teams that enter Group A are the 7th, 10th, 11th and the 14th, and the teams that participate in Group B are the 8th, 9th, 12th and the 13th. Every participant plays twice against the other three teams in their group on a home-away basis. The teams from the bottom eight also compete with the results from the regular season. After the group stages, every team will have played a total number of 32 games. Depending on their final position in Group A and Group B, two sections will be formed, one for a play-off spot in next season's European competitions and one to avoid relegation. The first two teams from each group continue in the semi-finals, and the last two teams of each group continue to the semi-finals for a relegation match. After this phase, one team is directly relegated to theSecond League and the remaining two teams will compete in two relegation matches against the second and the third ranked clubs from the Second League.[11]

Teams

[edit]

Prior to the start of the season, theBulgarian Football Union announced that every Bulgarian professional football club's application would be considered for the upcoming season, as long as it fulfills the financial criteria. A total of 14 teams would be contesting the league, including the 9 sides from theprevious season, plus five promoted clubs from the lowerB Group, which would be issued a license by theBulgarian Football Union. The five approved applications from the lower division were the B Group's last year championsDunav Ruse, alongsideLokomotiv GO,Neftochimic,Vereya andCSKA Sofia respectively.

Dunav return after a 25-year absence from the top flight, Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa return after a 21-year absence, Neftochimic return after a two-year absence, Vereya made its debut in the top flight, while CSKA Sofia return after a one-year absence, having played in the third tier the previous season, but managing to administratively promote back to the elite.

  1. ^abOn 29 May 2017 a UEFA letter to theBulgarian Football Union declared thatCSKA Sofia were not allowed to compete in European tournaments for the following two seasons as they were considered to have been re-formed as a new club and thus did not pass the "three-year rule".[67] As this decision was appealed by CSKA Sofia, the Bulgarian Football Union granted a license to them subject to legal proceedings.[68][69][70] A few hours prior to the Europa League first qualifying round draw, UEFA replaced them byDunav Ruse, the fourth-placed team of the league.[71]
