Indian Super League
Football in India has existed in many forms since the game first arrived in the country during the 19th century with the first nationwide club competition, the Durand Cup, being founded in 1888. Despite India's early history in the game, the country's first nationwide football league did not begin until the semi-professional National Football League commenced in 1996. Prior to the creation of the National Football League, most clubs played in state leagues or select nationwide tournaments.
Bhutan National League
The National League is a standalone football competition, that operates as the highest level of football in Bhutan. It consists of six teams, four of which are based in Thimpu, with the remainder coming from other districts. The four Thimphu-based teams compete in Thimphu League, which was previously the top league in the country, but now serves as a qualifying tournament for the national league. 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 stadia and genuine home and away fixtures now take place.
