The Lega Nazionaļ (Ingallish: National League) is Porto Capital's football tournment. The term Lega Nazionaļ - or its short form Ļa Lega - is used to reffer either to the whole football league pyramid system, or to its top division alone - Lega Nazionaļ 1.
For info and results on the most recent season, see Lega Nazionaļ 320.
History[]
Football leagues had existed in former Maurestania, and also in Brolecia and in the People's Republic of Extremo. With the coming of Porto Capital, however, a football league took too long to appear. To fill this void, several minor state and local leagues appeared - such as the Bajapez State Championship, the Metropolitan Cup, the Mountain Trophy or the Oran Mounist Cup. In 303, talks started regarding the merging of all these leagues and creation of a national league system.
This would only come to an end on 308. The reason for the delay was regarding who would go to the top and lower divisions of the new Lega Nazionaļ. After several methods were devised, league chairmans finally agreed on a ranking system devised by the Ministry of Sports.

The Pyramid[]
The Lega Nazionaļ System, also known as the Portocapitalian Football Pyramid, is a series of interconnected leagues, in a hierarchical format with promotion and relegation between leagues at different levels. Clubs that are successful in their division can rise higher in the pyramid, whilst those that finish at the bottom can find themselves sinking further down.
The top three levels contain one division each - Lega Nazionaļ 1, Lega Nazionaļ 2 and Lega Nazionaļ 3. The winner of Lega 1 is considered the Portocapitalian Champion for that year. The bottom two teams of Lega 1 are relegated to Lega 2, while the winner and the runner-up of Lega 2 advance to next year's Lega 1. The bottom two in Lega 2 go down to Lega 3, while the top two in Lega 3 go to Lega 2.

The three Regiolegas of the Lega Nazionaļ
Below Lega Nazionaļ 3, there are three Regional Leagues - Regiolega Norte, encompassing the state of Extremo; Regiolega Central, for the state of Guetaso; and Regiolega Sur, holding teams from Bajapez and Mauré - each with three divisions. The Regional Leagues, in turn, have individual accords for promotion and relegation with the amateur and semi-pro leagues of Porto Capital's sixteen Cerimonial Districts, who also have links with the more amateur college and local leagues.
From 308 until 319, the Regiolegas where known as Ştatolegas, with one league for each of Porto Capital's then-three states of Extremo, Guetaso and Bajapez. Following the annexation of the Mauré peninsula in January 318, teams from that new territory began joining the Bajapez state pyramid. Thus, starting in the 320 season, the Ştatolegas were renamed to Regiolegas.
Prior to the 316 season, the worst-placed team from each state in Lega 3 were relegated to their Ştatolega 1 - independently of how high they reached on the overall standings. Before that, for the 308 and 309 seasons, two teams were relegated to each Ştatolega from Lega Nazionaļ 3 - which gave a total of six teams relegated per season.
