Yemeni League is the top division of the Yemen Football Association.
It was created in 1990 after the unification of North and South Yemen.
It was set up in a four-level league system: Premier, First, Second and
Third divisions.
16 northern and 16 southern clubs entered the top level championship
in the 1990-91 season. Previously, two separate championships were used
for North Yemen and South Yemen.
Currently, 14 clubs play at the top level, with four clubs being
relegated to the 2nd tier. The season is generally run from early
November to late June with the league winners entering the AFC Cup and Arab Champions League.
The league aimed to go fully professional in the 2008-09 campaign.
