Organization of Football in Nicaragua

The organization of football in Nicaragua is structured into several levels, allowing clubs to ascend or descend based on their performance. This structure is divided into two main tiers, ranging from professional football to semi-professional football.

At the top of the hierarchy is the Liga Primera de Nicaragua, which is the highest level of Nicaraguan football. It comprises 10 professional clubs that compete for the title of Nicaraguan champion. The bottom two clubs at the end of the season are relegated to the Liga Primera de Ascenso, which also includes 10 clubs. The top two clubs from the Liga Primera de Ascenso are promoted to the Liga Primera de Nicaragua.

The Liga Primera de Ascenso, the second tier of Nicaraguan football, hosts 10 clubs, primarily semi-professional. The top two teams are promoted to the Liga Primera de Nicaragua, and the bottom two are relegated to lower regional divisions.

Beyond the Liga Primera de Ascenso, the system continues with regional and departmental divisions, highlighting the depth and richness of Nicaraguan football at all levels of competition.

The Nicaraguan Football Federation (FENIFUT)

The Nicaraguan Football Federation (FENIFUT) is the official body overseeing football in Nicaragua. Established in 1931, it is responsible for organizing and developing football at all levels, from amateur football to professional competitions. FENIFUT also manages the national teams, including the men's, women's, and youth teams. Its role includes managing the rules of the game, promoting sportsmanship, and overseeing ethics in the sport.

Under the auspices of FENIFUT is the Nicaraguan Professional Football League, which manages the men's and women's professional leagues. FENIFUT also organizes the Nicaragua Cup, a competition open to all Nicaraguan clubs, from amateur to professional. Beyond competitions, FENIFUT places a strong emphasis on developing women's football, sports infrastructure, and training programs for players and coaches.
