The Liga de Fútbol de Guinea Ecuatorial (LIFGE, formerly known as Liga Semiprofesional and Primera División de Honor) is the top division of the Equatoguinean football league system. It was founded in 1979.^[when?]

Prior to independence, two separate leagues existed, one for Europeans (European League) and one for the locals (Liga Indigenas).

Since 2011, it is a semi-professional league.^[2]^{[citation needed]} Since the 2012 season, the tournament is no longer divided into a league playing in Malabo and a league playing in Bata, but a single league, with clubs playing matches in seven different stadiums across the country.^[3]
