The '''National Soccer Association Premier League''' ([[Spanish#Creeperian Standard Spanish|Creeperian Spanish]] – [[Creeperian Script|Creeperian]]: ''Ասոծիածիօն Նածիոնալ դե Ֆղտբոլ Լիգա Պրեմիեր'', ''ԱՆՖ ԼՊ''; Creeperian Spanish – [[Iberic Script|Iberic]]: ''Asociación Nacional de Fútbol Liga Premier'', ''ANF LP''), often known as simply the '''ANF Premier League''' (Creeperian Spanish – Creeperian: ''ԱՆՖ Լիգա Պրեմիեր''; Creeperian Spanish – Iberic: ''ANF Liga Premier''), is the top division of professional soccer in [[Creeperopolis]] and is organized by the [[National Soccer Association]].  
+
The '''Liga Imperial''' ([[Creeperian language|Creeperian]] – [[Creeperian script|Creeperian]]: ''Լիգա Իմպերիալ''; [[Jackian language|Jackian]]: ''Imperial League'') is the top division of professional football in [[Creeperopolis]] which is organized by the [[National Football Association]] (ANF).  
  
The National Soccer Association was formed in 1904 as the Conference of Professional Soccer before renaming itself the League of Professional Soccer in 1924, only having one division. During the [[Creeperian Civil War]], the league suspended operations. After the war ended, the league resumed operations and renamed itself to the National Professional Soccer Association, which was later renamed to the National Soccer Association in 1953. In 1960, the ANF Division I was founded, ''de facto'' establishing the ANF Premier League as well.
+
The Liga Imperial was formed in 1904 as the National League (''Liga Nacional''; LN). During the [[Creeperian Civil War]], the league suspended operations, and after the war ended, the league resumed operations and renamed itself to the Premier League (''Liga Primera''; LP), which was later renamed to the Liga Imperial in 1953.
  
The league consists of 16 teams which play each other twice per year. The two worst teams per year are automatically relegated to the [[ANF Division I]], while the third and fourth worst teams play a relegation match, the loser of which is relegated to the ANF Division I. The eight teams with the best records continue to play in a tournament which concludes in a championship match, the tournament being known as the [[Copa Creeperiano]]. The Copa Creeperiano is also among the biggest club sporting events in the world, with the individual games accounting for many of the most watched television programs in Creeperian history with over 250 to 300 million viewers nationally every year. ANF Premier League games are broadcast within [[Creeperopolis]], [[El Salvador]], and the [[Second State of the Church|State of the Church]]. The Copa Creeperiano itself is also broadcast in [[Greater Sacramento]] and [[Quebecshire]].
+
The league consists of 20 clubs which play each other twice per year. The two worst teams per year are automatically relegated to the [[Segunda División]], while the third and fourth worst teams play a relegation match, the loser of which is relegated to the Segunda División. The twelve teams with the best records continue to play in a tournament which concludes in a championship match, the tournament being known as the [[Copa Creeperiano]].
