PFF Women's League
The PFF Women's League is the top-flight of women's association football in the Philippines.
History
To follow up with the PFF Women's Cup which was launched in 2014, the PFF Women's League was launched on November 5, 2016 by the Philippine Football Federation. The competition became the first to follow a league format following the folding of the Pinay Futbol League in 2013 and became the first women's domestic league in the country. The league sanctioned by the PFF as an amateur tournament is part of FIFA's Women's Development Project for the Philippines.Most of the teams that are participating at the inaugural 2016–17 season are either from the University Athletic Association of the Philippines or alumni teams. The PFF plans to hold a bigger amateur women's league to give more playing opportunities to collegiate players after they graduate from their respective universities and eventually professionalize the league so it can support itself. The league was launched to create a bigger pool for the Philippines women's national football team. De La Salle University were the champions of the inaugural season.
The PFF announced in July 2018 that a second season for the PFF Women's League will take place. The second season followed a single round robin format instead of multiple round robin format used for the inaugural season. This run was contested from August to November 2018. The league's players reportedly are compliant with the MyPFF online registration system of the Philippine Football Federation. De La Salle retained the league title.
The start of the 2020 season was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic but there are plans to resume the league within the year pending approval from the national government's Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases.
