2009 Liga Nacional de Ascenso
The Liga Nacional de Ascenso 2009 season (officially "Torneo Primera A 2009") started on February 28, 2009. The defending chammpion and Apertura winner was Río Abajo and the Clausura winner was Orión. On December 12, 2009 a grand final was played where Río Abajo were crowned champions of the Liga Nacional de Ascenso after defeating Orión 3-1. However (as it happened in the 2008 edition) Río Abajo lost the promotion play-off, but this time against Alianza in a 2-1 aggregate score, thus failing to promote to the Liga Panameña de Fútbol.
Fortunately for the 2010-11 edition of the Liga Nacional de Ascenso the champion will be promoted directly without playing a promotion play-off.
Changes for 2009
- The league increased the number of participating teams from 8 to 10.
- After the Apertura I season Primera A changed it name to Liga Nacional de Ascenso.
