It is organized by the [[Federación de Fútbol de Chile]] and is currently ranked 9th in the [[IFFHS]] Best Leagues of the World ranking.<ref>http://www.iffhs.de/?f8dbe4ac0bdc402fc0d85b05fdcdc3bfcdc0aec28d6e14</ref> The current tournament is [[Primera División Chilena 2008|Apertura 2008]] ==Competition format== Resembling the [[Primera División Mexicana]] league system, the Chilean First Division is currently played by 21 teams, which play two single-round tournaments per season. First, the [[Apertura]] tournament is played (usually held between January and June), and then is followed by the [[Clausura]] tournament (between July and December). For each Apertura and Clausura tournament, a single [[round-robin tournament]], called the regular phase, is played first. Afterwards, a post-season [[play-off]] begins, where the best eight teams in each single-round tournament eliminate each other in the [[Tournament#Knockout tournaments|knockout tournament]] format in two-leg aggregate-score. In this way, there are two champions per season. Unlike most European countries, Chile currently has no official cup competitions, although they have been held in the past years. The Chilean League of Football has never been regular in terms of their tournament systems. Traditionally, the League had consisted in one annual, double round-robin tournament, with the addition of a Cup, but the number of contesting teams and League format has varied throughout the years, until the adaptation of the Mexican system in 2002. ==Relegation and promotion== Very much like the tournament format, the relegation/promotion (to [[Liga Chilena de Fútbol: Primera B|Primera B]]) has changed throughout the years. Currently, the three teams with the worst scores in the complete season (including Apertura and Clausura, but excluding the [[play-off]] stage), are relegated to Primera B, and replaced by the Champions and Runners-up of this Division, making the number of participating teams for the 2008 season equal to 20. There is also a Relegation Playoff Tournament, played in a home-and-away basis by the team who finishes 18° in the First Division, and the teams who finish 3° and 4° in the Primera B. ==Qualification for International competitions== The champions of the Apertura and Clausura of each season are immediately qualified to [[Copa Libertadores]] for the next year. The third Chilean spot in that tournament is used by the team with the highest score in the [[Clausura]] regular phase (that is, excluding the play-offs). For the [[Copa Sudamericana]], the qualification system changes every year. For the 2007 season, a small tournament was played by the top four teams in the [[Apertura]]. The winners of that tournament ([[Colo-Colo]] and [[Audax Italiano]]) qualified for [[Copa Sudamericana 2007]]. ==History== ===The dawn of football in Chile=== Football arrived at Chile during the last decades of the nineteenth century. At first, football was played at some port cities, and with the highest popularity in [[Valparaiso]], [[Coquimbo]], [[Antofagasta]], [[Iquique]] and [[Talcahuano]]. Originally, football was not so popular in [[Santiago, Chile|Santiago]], the capital of Chile, but soon the popularity was comparable to the aforementioned cities. On [[June 19]], [[1895]], the '''Football Association of Chile''' was established in Valparaiso. It was the first organization trying to co-ordinate the existing clubs of the city to contest in ordinary competitions. Valparaíso F.C., Victoria Rangers, Mac Kay and Sutherland Athletic, Chilean F.C. joined upon [[Santiago National|Santiago National Athletic]], Santiago Rangers, Valparaíso Wanderers and National F.C. were united quickly. Football were played in different local associations in an amateur manner until the twentieth century, when football started to turn professional in Valparaíso and Santiago, where football competitions were consistently at the prominent level of Chile. On [[May 23]], [[1906]], the '''Asociación de Fútbol de Santiago''' (AFS) was set up in Santiago, whereas '''Asociación de Fútbol de Chile''', the predecessor of the present [[Asociación Nacional de Fútbol Profesional de Chile|Asociación Nacional de Fútbol Profesional]] (ANFP), was founded on [[September 14]], [[1912]] to unite various regional associations. ===Professionalism=== Chilean football truly professionalized in the 1930s. Different teams paid salaries to their players, despite being illegal, and this phenomenon occurred even on international level. In 1933, eight big clubs at that time, namely, [[Unión Española]], Bádminton, [[Colo-Colo]], [[Audax Club Sportivo Italiano|Audax Italiano]], Green Cross, Morning Star, [[Club Deportivo Magallanes|Magallanes]] and [[Santiago National]], left the ASF, and used the reduced percentage of their income which originally had to submit to the AFS to found the ''Liga Profesional de Football de Santiago'' on [[May 31]], [[1933]]. The newly formed body was recognized the [[Federación de Fútbol de Chile]] on [[June 2]], [[1933]]. The first edition of professional competition was contested by the eight founding teams and was won by Magallanes after defeating Colo-Colo in a decisive match. In the following year, according to the disposition of Federación de Fútbol de Chile, Liga Profesional returned to integrate with the AFS. Like part of the negotiations for reunification, four teams from AFS, namely, Ferroviarios, Carlos Walker, Deportivo Alemán, and Santiago F.C., would join the 1934 professional competition. Moreover, it was also decided that the last six teams in the 1934 competition would be eliminated to form the new second division in 1935. The title of the 1934 edition was again clinched by Magallanes, which won 10 out of the 11 matches this year.<ref>[http://rsssf.com/tablesc/chile34.html Chilean League 1934]</ref> [[Club de Fútbol Universidad de Chile]] and [[Club Deportivo Universidad Católica]] entered to compete in 1938 and 1939, and obtained their first titles in 1940 and 1949, respectively. The professional competition was confined to teams from Santiago at the first few years. [[Santiago Wanderers]] joined the league in 1937 and was the first club in the league coming from other regions. However, its participation in the league was just occasional and it did not contest in the league in the following years, until it rejoined the league with [[Everton de Viña del Mar]], its classic rival, in 1944. Everton de Viña del Mar captured the title in 1950, becoming the first national champions not coming from the capital city. Not until 1953 did a third team from other areas, [[Rangers de Talca]], was admitted to the league, after which had been crowned the runners-up of the second division in 1952. ===Diverse formats=== The lack of regularity of format has been one of the characteristics of the Chilean football league. Since the first edition, a variable number of teams had taken part in the competition under different formats, so no any single format had been adopted for a long time. One of the major problems in the early years was the small number of competing teams. With merely a few teams, it was difficult to schedule matches throughout the year. In order to tackle this problem, the ''Torneos de Apertura'' (Opening Tournament) format was derived. For every year, an Apertura tournament was played before the ''Campeonato Oficial'' (Official Competition), so that more matches could be played. In the following years, the formats kept changing, as well as the number of contesting teams. Initially, there were only seven teams, then it increased to 18 between 1962 and 1980, and 16 between 1987 and 2003, although in 1984 26 teams competed, and in 2008 the competition reduced to 20 teams. ===The Mexican format and controversy=== Since 2002, the format of [[Primera División de México]] was adopted, with a short single round-robin and play-off to determine the winner, crowning two champions every year. (Apertura and Clausura tournament) This format has been criticized by some of the teams and fans, who indicate that the champions was not always the best team of the league, since play-off is "torneo aparte",<ref>{{cite web|url = http://blogs.elmercurio.com/deportes/2008/02/28/las-patas-y-el-buche.asp |title = Las patas y el buche |accessdate= 2008-28-02|date= 2008-02-28|language=es|author = Juan Cristóbal Guarello}}</ref> referring to the play-off is determined by luck more than the level of the team. Nonetheless, the leader of the league indicated that the format has managed to arouse the emotion of the matches, especially in deceive rounds, and the attendance of the matches has been increasing in recent years.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.cooperativa.cl/p4_noticias/site/artic/20061228/pags/20061228125833.htm |title= Colo Colo fue el equipo que congregó más público en 2006
