Wikipedia - Uzbekistan Super League
Uzbekistan Super League (Uzbek: Oʻzbekiston Superligasi), known as Coca-Cola Uzbekistan Super League due to sponsorship reasons (Uzbek: Coca-Cola Oʻzbekiston Superligasi, Coca-Cola Ўзбекистон Суперлигаси), is the top division of professional football in Uzbekistan. It is operated under the auspices of the Uzbekistan Professional Football League and Uzbekistan Football Association. It was founded in 1992 and currently has 14 teams. The top team qualifies to the group stage of the AFC Champions League.
History
The Uzbek League was founded in 1992 after the collapse of the Soviet Union and its domestic league, the Soviet Top League. The league is known locally as the Higher League with relegation to the First League.[]
League system
The league is generally played between March and November in the calendar year and has occasionally had the Super Cup as a curtain raiser to the domestic campaign. Teams play each other on a home and away basis. Two or three teams can be relegated depending on the number of sides participating which has in the past been between 17 and 14 sides. Occasionally no sides would be promoted from the First League, due to reserve teams winning the championships. Reserve clubs are not allowed to feature in the top flight but can play at any level up to First League. On these occasions, clubs can be relegated without any promoted sides making the next campaign feature less sides than before.
League winners enter the next edition of the AFC Champions League along with the winners of the Uzbekistan Cup.
On 21 November 2017 according to the UzPFL management decision the Uzbek League was officially renamed to Uzbekistan Super League starting from 2018 season. The number of teams playing in top division of Uzbek football is reduced from 16 to 12. Famous personnels like Rivaldo, Eren Derdiyok, Zico, Luiz Felipe Scolari have contributed to the league so far.
