Liga I
Romania · Since 1932 · 16 clubs
Romanian football entered a new era in 1932 with the creation of Divizia A, introducing a national league system for the first time. The previous knockout and regional qualification formats were replaced with a season-long competition in which clubs regularly competed against each other. This change marked the beginning of modern top-level football in Romania.
Over the following decades, Divizia A became the country's most important football competition and evolved through various structural changes. The league expanded and adapted over time while surviving major historical events, including political changes and periods of national transformation. It became the stage for many of Romania’s most successful and influential football clubs.
In 2006, the competition was renamed Liga I after trademark-related issues involving the original Divizia A name. Despite the change in branding, the league remained Romania’s highest football division and continued its long tradition. Today Liga I remains the center of professional football in Romania and continues to shape the country's football culture and history.
