The league season is divided into separate Opening (Apertura) and Closing (Clasura) Seasons per calendar year. Each season sees each team play 18 games (2 against each team). The top four in each season move on to a two-legged semi-final followed by a final match between the two semi-final winners. The team with the fewest combined points from the Apertura and Clasura in the calendar year is relegated to the [[Primera A (Panama)|Primera A]], and the winner of a 4 team playoff is promoted from the [[Primera A (Panama)|Primera A]]. The [[Primera A (Panama)|Primera A]] playoff runner-up faces off against the 9th place team from ANAPROF in a two-leg series to determine which will play in ANAPROF the following year. The first 4 clubs participate in play-offs to decide the champion. The winners of the Apertura and Clasura competitions participate in the [[UNCAF Club Tournament]], (see [[Panama en CONCACAF]]). == History & Past Formats == *The league was founded in [[1988]] after years of turmoil in Panamanian soccer. The season began on February 26th, 1988 featuring with 6 teams participating. The league wasn't split into Apertura/Clasura seasons until 2001, previously the teams played a full season with all teams playing all other teams in a home and away set as is the standard in most European leagues today. <br> *''From 1994-96'' there was a schism in Panamanian soccer as both the ANAPROF and [[LINFUNA]] existed as separate leagues. [[LINFUNA]] was recognized by [[FIFA]], but the two leagues joined together to form a 12 team, single-table league in the 1996-97 season. <br> *''In 1997-98'', the league was split into two groups for the regular season with an 8 team playoff after the season was completed. The quarterfinals and semifinals were two-leg playoffs, but the final was a single match.<br> *''In 1998-99'', the league was moved down to 10 teams with the best 6 teams after a home-and-away season of 18 games moved on to the secondary tournament. Each team matched up against the other qualifying teams once and the top 4 of the 6 in terms of points moved on to the home-and-away semifinals. The winners advanced to a single match final.<br> *''In 1999-2000'', the league switched to a single table format for the opening round. The top 6 teams from the opening round moved on to the second round where they each played other qualifying teams once. The top 4 again moved to the home-and-away semifinals. The winners of those series played in the single match final.<br> *The format from 1999-2000 was again used in ''2000-01''.<br> *''In 2001'', the previous format was again used, but in both Apertura and Clasura seasons for the first time with the first round seeing each team play just 9 games and not 18. The league began using the modern '''Grand Championship''' playoff between the Apertura and Clasura winners in order to have an overall champion.<br> *''In the 2002 Apertura'', 8 teams in two separate groups of 4 teams. Each team played the teams in the other group one time and the teams from its own group twice, once at home and once away. The top two teams from each group qualified for the home-and-away semifinals. The winners of those series played in the single match final.<br> *''In the 2002 Clasura'', 8 teams took part in single-table home-and-away season, that saw all 8 teams play 14 games. The top 4 teams qualified for a semifinal group where each team would again play home-and-away vs all other qualified teams. The top two teams then met in a two-leg home-and-away championship, where the winner was determined by [[Aggregate score|aggregate]] goals.<br> *''The 2003 Apertura'' used the same format as the 2002 Clasura.<br> *''In the 2003 Clasura'', The 4 team semifinal group was dropped for a pair of home-and-away series featuring the top point getter from the 8 team, 14 game season face the fourth highest point earner and the second highest would face the third highest.<br> *''In 2004'' ANAPROF increased from 8 to 10 teams. *''In 2007'' the '''Grand Championship''' format was abandoned, therefore there will be two champions from now on: Apertura and Clausura. *''In 2008'', the league was split into two groups for the regular season with an 4 team playoff after the season was completed. The semifinals are two-leg playoffs, and the final is a single match.<br> ==Foundation== In [[1987]], a group of pioneers conformed by '''Giancarlo Gronchi''', '''Jan Domburg''', '''Edgar Plazas''', '''Jorge Zelasny''', '''Angel Valero''' and '''Juan Carlos Delgado''', founded the '''Asociación Nacional Pro-Fútbol''' ([[ANAPROF]] for short) on [[February 26]] [[1988]]. Their objective was to establish the bases to organize a profesional footballers in [[Panamá]], in order to help the [[Panama national football team]] in the long term. ===Founding teams=== {| border="2" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; text-align:center; width:1200px;" | | [[Image:Flag of Panama.svg|150px]]<br>'''[[Chirilanco F.C.]]'''<br>[[Bocas del Toro Province|Bocas del Toro]] | [[Image:Sffc4.jpg|100px]]<br>'''[[San Francisco F.C.|Deportivo la Previsora]]'''<br>[[La Chorrera, Panama|La Chorrera]] | [[Image:Flag of Panama.svg|150px]]<br>'''[[Deportivo Peru A.F.C.]]'''<br>[[Panama City]] | [[Image:AFC Euro Kickers.jpg|100px]]<br>'''[[A.F.C.
