The Lesotho A–Division is the second-tier football league in Lesotho, operating under the auspices of the Lesotho Football Association.

Organization

[edit]

The league is divided into two streams: Northern and Southern. Teams compete within their respective streams during the regular season. The top four teams from each stream then combine for a playoff tournament to determine which club earns promotion to the Lesotho Premier League.[1][2]

Sponsorship

[edit]

Vodacom was a significant sponsor of the league until 2017. The league went without a sponsor until September 2021, when the Lesotho Post Bank signed a three-year deal, including naming rights to the league, now known as the Lesotho Post Bank League.[3] The final-eight play-offs have been sponsored by Nedbank, a financial services provider from South Africa, since 2019.[4]
