The Liga Nacional de Fútbol (formerly known as Liga Semiprofesional and Primera División de Honor) is the top division of the Equatoguinean football league system. It was founded in 1979.[when?]
Prior to independence, two separate leagues existed, one for Europeans (European League) and one for the locals (Liga Indigenas).
Since 2011, it is a semi-professional league.[1][citation needed] Since the 2012 season, the tournament is no longer divided into a league playing in Malabo and a league playing in Bata, but a single league, with clubs playing matches in seven different stadiums across the country.[2]
