Bhutan Premier League
The Bhutan Premier League is one of the newest professional leagues in Asia.
Bhutan has had organized football since 1986 though Bhutanese football took its first real steps towards professionalism when a newly sponsored and more professional league replaced the old A Division in 2012.
In 2019, the league further evolved with further rebranding and sponsorship changes. The top tier was renamed the Bhutan Premier League and the qualifying competition for the Premier league became known as the Bhutan Super League.
The rebranded Bhutan Super League now acts as a feeder competition for the Premier League. The latter now provides Bhutan's representative(s) for the continental Asian Football Confederation - AFC Cup.
The league currently has ten teams and winners over the last three years include Paro, Thimphu City and Transport United.
