2018 Erovnuli Liga

The Erovnuli Liga (Georgian: ეროვნული ლიგა - lit. National League) is the top division of professional football in Georgia. Since 1990, it has been organized by the Professional Football League of Georgia and Georgian Football Federation. From 1927 to 1989, the competition was held as a regional tournament within the Soviet Union. From 2017 Georgia switched to Spring-Autumn system, with only 10 clubs in the top flight.
