La Liga

La Liga, officially known as the Primera División, is the top professional football (soccer) division in Spain. It is organized by the Royal Spanish Football Federation and comprises 20 teams that compete annually for the championship title. Established in 1929, La Liga is one of the most prestigious and popular football leagues worldwide, known for its high level of skill, competitive teams, and significant contributions to the sport. The league operates under a system of promotion and relegation with the Segunda División, meaning the lowest-performing teams are relegated to the lower division while top teams from that division are promoted to La Liga. Prominent clubs within La Liga include FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atlético Madrid, which have garnered global followings and achieved success both domestically and in international competitions. La Liga matches are widely broadcast and followed by millions of fans around the globe. The league’s format includes a round-robin schedule where each team plays every other team twice, once at home and once away, contributing to a total of 38 matches per team in a season.
