2023 Bhutan Premier League

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki

Script error: No such module "AfC submission catcheck". The 2023 Bhutan Premier League is the twelfth season of the unified league, rebranded as the Bhutan Premier League since 2019 (previously the Bhutan National League), the top national football competition in Bhutan, having replaced the A-Division in 2013.


Paro FC head into this season as the defending champions, after winning the league for the third time in a four year period.


Format

The Bhutan Premier League operates as the highest level of football in Bhutan. Competing teams in the league play each other twice on a home and away basis. Previously, when the A-Division was the country's top league, all matches were played at Changlimithang, the country's national stadium, making home and away distinctions essentially moot. Whilst the Thimphu-based teams still play their matches at that ground, the regional teams maintain their own stadiums, so that genuine home and away fixtures now take place.
