1. liga redirects here. For the Czech 1. liga, see 1. národní hokejová liga The Latvian First League (Latvian: 1. līga) is the second tier of football in Latvia and is organised by the Latvian Football Federation. From the 2007 season, the tournament has been known as the Traffic 1. līga, due to its sponsorship by the "Traffic auto advert" advertising company.[1]
[edit] FormatThere are 14 clubs in the First League. During the course of the season each club plays the every other club twice, once at home and once away, with a total of 26 games. At the end of the season, the highest placed club is automatically promoted to the Virslīga. The second lowest placed club in the Virslīga and the second placed club in the First League compete in a Play-off over two matches for the remaining place in the following season's Virslīga. However, for the 2009 season, the Virslīga has been expanded to 9 clubs. Therefore there was no relegation and the top two clubs in the First League, FK Daugava (champions) and FC Tranzīts (runners-up) were promoted to the Virslīga. The two clubs finishing at the bottom of the First League are relegated to the Second League.[2] [edit] First League clubs (2009)In March 2009 the Latvian Football Federation announced the 14 clubs who will compete in the 2009 First League season.[3]
