History

Opening Season

The LiM's first edition will be the 2023 Liga Mataba with 6 teams confirmed to be playing this season with signups still open.

Format

Competition

There are 6 clubs in the league who play each other twice in a double round-robin system throughout the course of the season, once at home and once away. Teams receive three points for a win, one point for a draw, and none for a loss. Teams are ranked by points scored, then goal-difference for tie breakers. If there is still a tie, the positions will be decided based on goals scored. If there is still a tie for relevant occupancies such as the league title, qualification to any competition, or relegation, a play-off will be hosted in a home and away format to decide league standings.
