Current: 2020–21 Primera División

The Primera División de la Liga de Fútbol Femenino, also known as Primera Iberdrola (formerly Liga Femenina Iberdrola) for sponsorship reasons, is the highest level of league competition for women's football in Spain. Previously known as Superliga Femenina, División de Honor and Liga Nacional, it is the women's equivalent of the men's La Liga and is run by the Real Federación Española de Fútbol (RFEF). As one of the top six national leagues ranked by Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) coefficient, it is considered one of the most important women's leagues in Europe.

The league was founded in 1988 and has operated every year since, although it has undergone several changes of format and name. A total of 12 different clubs have been champions; Athletic Club and Barcelona have won the most championships, with five each.

History

Liga Nacional

The league was founded in 1988 as Liga Nacional, formed by Olímpico Fortuna, Puente Castro, Parque Alcobendas, Santa María Atlético, Vallès Occidental, RCD Español, FC Barcelona, CE Sabadell and Peña Barcelonista Barcilona.

División de Honor

Starting in the 1996-97 season the league was divided into 4 groups. The group winners played a semi-final and final to decide the champion.

Superliga

Old logo of the league.

For the 2001–02 season the league was renamed the Superliga and the competition system was changed from the group format to a double round-robin, with each team playing the other teams twice, once away and once at home. The league in this period consisted of 14 teams. The 2008–09 season kept the double round-robin format as the league increased from 14 to 16 teams.

In the 2009–10 season the Superliga increased from 16 to 24 teams, causing criticism by teams and players who feared a decline in the quality of competition. The Superliga was divided into 3 groups of 7 to 8 teams each, with geographically nearby teams placed into each group to minimize travel.[1] In the first stage of the season, each team played each other team in its group twice. In the second stage, the best two of each group as well as the two best third-place finishers went into group A and the other teams were divided into groups B and C based on a predefined key. Again a double round-robin was played within each group. All Group A teams and the three best finishers of Group B and C qualified for the Copa de la Reina, and the two best teams in Group A played each other in a two-legged final for the season's championship. Rayo Vallecano won the 2009-10 and 2010-11 finals, both times against RCD Espanyol. In the 2009-10 season, two teams had to withdraw from the league for financial reasons.

Primera División

Starting in the 2011–12 season, the league was renamed to Primera División and the group-based system was eliminated; 18 teams played double round-robin to decide the champion. The size was reduced to 16 teams for the 2012–13 season. Before the 2016–17 season, the RFEF agreed to a sponsorship by Iberdrola, renaming the league Liga Iberdrola.[2] This was slightly changed to Primera Iberdrola in 2019.

On 10 June 2020 the Primera División was granted professionalized league status.[3]
