Liga FUTVE Femenina

A national amateur league was formed in 2000. In the Liga Amateur de Fútbol Femenino (LAFF) mostly University teams were playing. UCAB (Universidad Católica Andrés Bello) from Caracas won three of the four editions. In 2003/04 the national league was established. It was called the Primera División Femenina until 2016, when it was decided that women's footballers will be received with more adequate means to improve their football life, thus leading to the creation of the Super League in 2017. The newly established Super League will allow clubs to have professional contracts for female footballers and greater insurance, though it is not mandatory due to its semi-professional status.^[2][3][4]

In the 2011 season there were 11 teams in two divisions, an Eastern and Western one. The champion qualified for the Copa Libertadores. The 2012/13 season was played in Apertura and Clausura format. Apertura from September to December and Clausura from December to June.^[5]

In 2016 the final stage consisted of a hexagonal with six teams each playing each other twice. The two leading teams played for the championship in a two leg match.^[6]

In 2017 the national FA changed the league to a semi-professional one.^[7] Clubs now need a license, professional staff and pay their players.

Below is the list of champions.^[8] Caracas FC have been national champion six times, the most of any team.

Notes

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no first division tournament in 2020 and 2021. However, extraordinary tournaments were held, in which the champions qualified for the Copa Libertadores Femenina.

The Liga Nacional Femenina served as the First Division until 2016, as in 2017 it was replaced by the Superliga Femenina. However, it continued organizing its tournament in parallel with the Superliga until 2019.
