The Lao League 1 (Lao: ລາວ ພຣີເມຍລີກ), known as the Pepsi Lao League 1 for sponsorship reasons (formerly Lao League), is a professional football league representing the sport's highest division in Laos. The league is composed of 10 clubs.
Format[edit]
Over the course of a season, which runs from February to September, each team plays against the others three times in a triple round-robin. Three points are awarded for a win, one for a draw and zero for a loss. The teams are ranked in the league table by points gained, then goal difference, then goals scored and then their head-to-head record for that season.[1]
