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, named the European League, and one for the locals named Liga Indigenas.
Since 2011, it has been a semi-professional league.[2][citation needed] Since the 2012 season, the tournament has no longer been divided into a league playing in Malabo and a league playing in Bata, but a single league, with clubs playing matches in seven stadiums across the country.[3]
Many league games took place in front of hundreds of spectators.
