The Valladar Liga-1 (League-1 in English and Ligue-1 in French), is Valladares’s top division of association football. Run by the Liga Federal de Valladares, an entity affiliated to the Valladar Football Association, it contains twenty clubs from across the country, and maintains a system of promotion and relegation of three or four clubs a year between it and the Valladar Liga-2, Valladares’s second division.
The season runs from March to November, during which time 38 matches are played per team, totalling 380 matches overall. The vast majority of matches are played on weekends, with some on Friday nights and one matchday during Independence Day on October 8th. It is broadcast by VSPN and SportsNet, who own rights to the league's featured matches every week, and several regional broadcasters who own the rights to the remaining matches not chosen by either VSPN or SportsNet.
The Liga-1 was set up in 1977 as the Valladar Super League, the first national league competition ever organized in Valladares, and before that, its most prominent teams were competing in amateur leagues organized by the Football Associations of each federal state. The first league season was contested in 1978 by 16 clubs, but it was later expanded to 20 in 1980. Historically, the league has been dominated by Fontvielle Impact and Metropolis Alligators, from the industrial town of Fontvielle and the capital city Metropolis respectively, both of whom being the only clubs that have won 5 or more leagues in a row. L’Impact’s 11 titles and the Alligators’s 10 mean that half of all the titles contested have been won between the two clubs. For its 31st season, in 2008, it was taken over by the Liga Federal de Valladares and rebranded as the Liga-1.
The current champions of the league are AS Bezieres, who won their eighth title at the conclusion of the forty-second season. Every year, at the start of the season, the last season’s champions play the last season’s champions of the King’s Shield in an event known as the Canalave Crown, and in addition to this, the league’s top teams every season get to play in the tournaments organized by UICA, such as the Champions’ Cup and the Globe Cup. The league is currently ranked as the 5th strongest league of the multiverse, behind Apox’s National League, Paripana’s Élite League, Polar Islandstates’s Divisjon One, and Eura’s Gold League according to the UICA rankings for UICA season 57.
History
The Valladar Liga-1’s beginnings date back to 1977, when the State Championships were the most important football competition in the nation. At the time there was no nationwide football competition in Valladares and interstate club matches were rarely held. In a meeting held at the headquarters of the Asociación de Fútbol Distrital in Metropolis in July 1977, representatives from the football associations from each Valladar mainland state voted 5–1 in support of the creation of the Valladar Football Association, and in turn, of a nationwide football league, with only the Mountbatten Football Association opposing the idea brought forward by the Metropolis and Eterna football associations. As a result, the Valladar Super League was created and invitations to participate in its first season were sent to the top clubs in each State Championship at the end of the 1977 season, the clubs that accepted the invitation are italicized:
- División 1 Distrital: Metropolis Alligators (champion), Marinos Metropolis (runner-up), and Nacional (third place)
- Mountbatten A-League: Tannenberg FC (champion), AC Tallin (runner-up), and FC Lilí (third place)
- Eterna Top Championship: Slateport Bulls (champion) and Eterna Stars (runner-up)
- Campeonato Chiquitense: Chiquito FC (champion) and SC Caimanes (runner-up)
- Championnat d'Honneur Foixien: AS Bezieres (champion) and Fontvielle Impact (runner-up)
- Liga Estatal Antioqueña: Pradera FC (champion) and Hamanos Athletic Club (runner-up)
- League of Canalave: Canalave Dragons (champion) and Canalave Rangers (runner-up)
With Nacional, FC Lilí, Antioquian champions Pradera FC, and both Canalese clubs having declined their invitations, the VFA decided to appeal to the next large cities left without a team in the newly-created league, such as Maldonado (Pumas Maldonado and Universitario de Maldonado were both invited after both League of Canalave teams declined), Valencia (Cardenales FC were invited to replace Nacional), and Gatineau (RC Belfort received an invite to replace Pradera FC), while the last berth into the new league was awarded to Olympique de Fontvielle, thus completing the 16 clubs that competed in the first VSL season, which was won by Metropolis Alligators.
