The Bolivian football league system is a series of interconnected leagues for association football clubs in Bolivia.[1]

## Overview

[edit]

At the top is the División de Fútbol Profesional Boliviano (first division) with 14 clubs.[2] Below the 1st level is the Copa Simón Bolívar (second division). In order to qualify for the Copa Simón Bolívar there are 9 subdivisions at the 3rd level: the Departmental Championships or Regional Leagues, which comprises teams from the different Departments of Bolivia: Santa Cruz, La Paz, Cochabamba, Chuquisaca, Oruro, Tarija Department, Beni Department, Pando Department and Potosí.
