The División Profesional de la Asociación Paraguaya de Fútbol ( Professional Division of the Paraguayan Football Association), also known as the Primera División (first division), or due to sponsorship reasons Copa TIGO, is the top-flight professional football league in Paraguay. Currently, there are 12 teams in the first division.
The system of the tournaments is round-robin. 12 teams play two
rounds of 11 dates either one (visit and home), in total 22 dates in
each tournament. Each year tournaments are divided in two independents
tournaments: the Torneo Apertura (Opening Tournament) from February to
July, and the Torneo Clausura (Closing Tournament) from July to
December.
Relegation is based on an averaging system. At the end of each
season, the two teams with the worst three-year averages are relegated,
and the two best teams in the "División Intermedia" (second division)
are promoted to Primera División.
