Prior to independence, two separate leagues existed: One for Europeans, named the European League, and one for the locals named Liga Indigenas.
Since 2011, it has been a semi-professional league.[2][citation needed] Since the 2012 season, the tournament has no longer been divided into a league playing in Malabo and a league playing in Bata, but a single league, with clubs playing matches in seven stadiums across the country.[3]
Many league games took place in front of hundreds of spectators.
