Intercity Football League (Chinese:城市足球聯賽;pinyin:Chéngshì zúqiú liánsài) was the top-ranked division in theTaiwanesefootball (soccer) league run byChinese Taipei Football Association (CTFA), run from 2007 until 2016.[1] From 2017, it was replaced by theTaiwan Football Premier League.
TheIntercity Football League was founded in 2007 after the transformation of then highest-ranked National First Division Football League (laterEnterprise Football League).[citation needed] Different from the later, registered players were initially grouped by theirplaces of residence, such asTainan City, rather than specialized football teams, such asTaiwan Power Company (Taipower). The only exception wasTatung FC, who representedTaipei City to compete in the league. By Intercity Football League's establishment, CTFA hoped to root football into each area in Taiwan and also seed supports from local governments, councilors, and enterprises. In the first league season, several magistrates served as team leaders, includingChou Hsi-wei (Taipei County),Chen Ming-wen (Chiayi County), andLu Kuo-hua (Yilan County).
Nevertheless, in 2008, CTFA opened the league participation to non-administrative division teams.[citation needed] Taipower and several college teams, such asNational Taiwan College of Physical Education (as Taichung County Chia Cheng Hsin) andTaipei Physical Education College (as Tainan County Hun Shin), joined the competition.
CTFA announced new league regulations again in 2009. Each participating team should have name relating to one administrative region and more than 2/3 players having their households registered to that place for more than one month.Promotion and relegation were also introduced.[2] However, the new regulations did not continue to the next league season. The 2010 league season adopted similar regulations as the 2008 season.
In August 2010,MediaTek were announced as the title sponsor of the Intercity Football League[citation needed] until 2013.
