ThePrimera División Femenina de El Salvador is the main women's football competition for inEl Salvador. It was established in 2010.[1]
There previously were some women's tournaments held in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
In September 2019, as part of the guidelines done by CONCACAF for clubs to be able to participate in the primera division, the formation of a women's division was needed. The new division was created by the Salvadoran Primera division, which will be run instead of FESFUT. The new season will begin in September 2019.[2]
La Liga Mayor Femenina follows the usual doubleround-robin format.[3]
During the course of a given season (Apertura orClausura), each club plays every other club twice, once at home and once away, for a total of 22 games.
Teams receive three points for a win, one point for a draw, and no points for a loss. Teams are ranked by total points, with the top eight clubs at the end of the season progressing through to the finals.
If points are equal between two or more clubs,goal difference usually determines their placement.
Although when it comes to qualifying for the finals, if the team in eighth and ninth spot are equal on points, then aRepechaje orPlayoff is needed to determine which team gains entry into finals.
A system ofrelegation exists between thePrimera División and theSegunda División.
In May each year, at the conclusion of both theapertura andclausura seasons, the team with the fewest points on aggregate over both seasons, is automatically relegated to theSegunda División.
A total of 12 teams contest the league in the current season
