The '''Første Liga''' (English: '''Top League''') is the topmost division of the [[Olmerian League Football]] (OLF) system. It is contested by 15 clubs from across the country, and runs on a system of promotion and relegation with the rest of the Olmerian football leagues. The league is held over annual seasons, with a season typically running from the start of March through to late October, with a 3-4 month break over Olmeria's extreme winters. The dates of seasons vary each year based on when conditions become favourable enough to permit outdoor football. The leagues size is also adjusted for the reduced playing time available, as each team plays every other team twice during a season, once at home and once away. As such 28 game week seasons is more viable than the standard 34/38 week season of a more traditional 18/20 club division. The reduced games also allows for flexibility to break for international competitions during the summer. Clubs in the Første Liga compete to win the league each season, qualify for international football tournaments, and to avoid relegation to the below[[Lëiga Lige (Olmeria)| Lëiga Lige]]. Most games are played at weekends (Saturday and Sunday), although the occasional game will be held midweek, especially in international competition years or if there is an especially harsh winter. | The '''Første Liga''' (English: '''Top League''') is the topmost division of the [[Olmerian League Football]] (OLF) system.

The competition was created as part of the OLF in 1934 by the [[Olmerian Football Confederation]] (OFC), in response to a surge in footballs popularity, which had led to the creation of several fractured leagues across the country. The league has been it's own organisation since 1986, although it remains under the ultimate jurisdiction of the OFC, along with the rest of the OLF. It has seen 94 seasons over 100 years since it's founding, with 6 missed seasons due to conflicts and natural conditions. | The competition was created as part of the OLF in 1934 by the [[Olmerian Football Confederation]] (OFC), in response to a surge in footballs popularity, which had led to the creation of several fractured leagues across the country.

The very first years of the league were somewhat uneventful, with no relegation or international competitions meaning they were little stakes in the competition for those no in contention for the title. Some of the most turbulent years in the leagues history came after the introduction of the below Lëiga Lige, activating relegation to the rest of the OLF pyramid. From this time, several teams were repeatedly relegated and promoted as the league settled into clubs capable of competing at the high standard that the competition had already become. | |||
