The Quebec Elite Soccer League (French: Ligue de Soccer Élite Quebec in French) is the top provincial league in Quebec. It operates a number of youth and gender specific divisions.

The senior men's division is composed of a 1st Division and 2nd Division, each with 10 teams. There is promotion and relegation between division 1 and 2, between division 2 and regional AA leagues.

History

Soccer in Quebec before the formation of the Quebec Elite Soccer League was spread between various different senior and junior leagues throughout the province.^[1] In 1992, the different rival leagues such as the LMSJQ, LMSSQ and Quebec National Soccer League (LNSQ) merged in order to form the Quebec Elite Soccer League (LSEQ).^[2] The league was initially structured with two divisions with a promotion and relegation system with Ira Turetsky as the inaugural league president.^[2] In 1993, five of the former LNSQ clubs Corfinium St-Leonard, Cosmos de LaSalle, Luso Stars Mont-Royal, Montreal Croatia, and Montreal Ramblers joined the Canadian National Soccer League (CNSL) to form the league's Eastern Division.^[3]^[4]

Note : le match de barrage entre l’avant dernier D2 (Casalciprano Anjou) et le finaliste perdant de la Coupe des champions provinciaux Saputo AA (Rouyn-Noranda) est inutile puisque Casalciprano Anjou D2 est automatiquement relégué en AA suite à la relégation en D2 de Casalciprano Anjou D1. En conséquence, Rouyn-Noranda monte directement en D2.
