National League One is the highest professional football league in The Waves.

The league was first competed in 1957. In the Agian football system, there are three divisions under National League One. They are; League Two, Three and Four.

In total, 53 clubs have competed in National League One since its inception in 1992. 13 of them have won the title: Rockington United (16), Deportivo La Pampas (13), Rockington Central (8), Fairfax Raiders (6), Rio Bravo UD (4) Lunera United (3), Atletico Mitera (2), Lugano Lightning (2), Sporting Carlotta (2), St Edwards (1), Crespo Cavaliers (1), FC Alberti (1) and Kampos City (1).

Competition format[]

The league consists of 16 clubs. During the course of a season (from August to May) each club plays the others twice (a double round-robin system), once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents', for a total of 30 games. Teams receive three points for a win and one point for a draw. No points are awarded for a loss. Teams are ranked by total points, then goal difference, and then goals scored. If still equal, teams are deemed to occupy the same position. If there is a tie for the championship, for relegation, or for qualification to other competitions, a play-off match at a neutral venue decides rank. The two lowest placed teams are relegated into National League Two, with the top two teams from that league promoted in their place.

Standing Committee[]

The National League One Standing Committee is a body composed of the Premier League club presidents who represent their club on a board. These do not have executive powers but are a formal body that has official influence with regards to rules, regulations and issues that relate to the league. From time to time the committee makes proposals to the respective and WFA bodies for approval.
