Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Primera División Profesional, known simply as the Primera División, is the top level of the Mexican football league system and is administered by the Mexican Football Federation. It was established in 1943 and as of 2011 has 18 clubs. Up to June 2011, it was divided into three groups competing for league titles. However, in July 2011, groups were removed. Each season the league holds two tournaments, the Apertura in the winter and the Clausura in the summer. The league is currently ranked number 12 in the world and number 10 in the last decade by the IFFHS. Prior to the Liga Mayor, there was no national football league in Mexico, and football competitions were held within relatively small geographical regions.
