Tournament

Competition format

Competition There are 18 clubs in the Supreme League. During the course of a season (from August to May) each club plays the others twice (a double round-robin system), once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents', for 30 games. Teams receive three points for a win and one point for a draw. No points are awarded for a loss. Teams are ranked by total points, then goal difference, and then goals scored. If still equal, teams are deemed to occupy the same position. If there is a tie for the championship, for relegation, or for qualification to other competitions, a play-off match at a neutral venue decides rank.

Promotion and relegation

A system of promotion and relegation exists between the Supreme League and the Liga B . The three lowest placed teams in the Suprema are relegated to the B, and the top two teams from the B promoted to the Suprema with an additional team promoted after a series of play-offs involving the third, fourth, fifth and sixth placed clubs. The Suprema had 20 teams when it began in 2018, but this was reduced to the present 18-team format in 2020.
