[edit] History
In 1921, the Salvadorean sports commission (Comisión Nacional de Educación Física) celebrated for the first time the National Sports Week. In 1924, the commission included a football tournament in the Sports Week. That year, the final was won by club Hércules, who defeated Chinameca Sporting Club 4-0 in the final. A year later, in 1925, Hércules retained their title by beating Santiagueño 4-0.
In 1926, the commission declared that the football tournament in the Sports Week would be the official National Championship. The contenders were three teams who represent the three zones of the whole country: Nequepio (Central Zone), Chinameca (Eastern Zone) and Olímpic (Western Zone). Nequepio and Chinameca reached the final. This format was used from 1926 to 1930.
Controversy occurred in the 1929–30 the players and the directors of Excélsior (from Santa Ana, Western Zone) said that the second leg of the final should not count, because of the extremely brutal football played by Hércules and because the referee helped Hércules to win the title by ignoring almost all their fouls. They therefore forfeited the deciding match for the championship. From then on, the team of the Western Zone refused to join the National Championship. No national playoff was held again until 1937.
From 1939 to 1941, only regional championships were played. CD 33 won the Central Zone in 1939, España FC in 1940 and Quequeisque in 1941; these championships are often considered national titles.
In 1944 and 1945 no national championship was organised; Quequeisque won the Central Zone in both seasons; these championships are often considered national titles.
In 1947, the Salvadorean Football Federation tried to organize a National Championship in league format, but the tournament was suspended after a couple of rounds. There was no institutionalised relegation, but Once Municipal (champions), Libertad (league runners-up), Alacranes, España, Cuscatlecto and Quequeisque all failed to enter the 1950–51 league; instead, Atlético Marte, Olímpic and Águila entered.
[edit] Competition format
The league has had several different formats throughout its history; currently, the league season is divided into two tournaments. The Apertura, which is played in the fall, and Clausura, which is played in the spring. The first 4 clubs in the standings at the end of each competition participate in the play-offs to determine the champion. The winners of the Apertura and Clausura competitions participate in the UNCAF Club Tournament.
The 10th place team in the final relegation standings (the combined standings of both apertura and clausura tournaments) is relegated to Primera División (2nd division league, the next-lower level) automatically at the end of the Clausura tournament in late May. Teams who finish in 9th place have to play in a two legged playoff series with the top team of Primera División, if defeated, they will be relegated and their opponents will be promoted.
