The '''Lega Macbon A''' is [[Macbonian]] top division of {{wp|association football}}. Run by the [[Campionato di Calcio Professionistico di Macbon]], an entity affiliated to the [[Macbon Football Fedration]], it contains twenty clubs from across the country, and maintains a system of promotion and relegation of three clubs a year between it and the [[Lega Macbon B]], Macbon’s upcoming second division.

The current champions of the league are [[SS Vitelogna]], who won their first title at the conclusion of the first. Every year, at the start of the season, the last season’s champions play the last season’s champions of the [[Coppa Macbon]] in an event known as the [[Supercoppa Macbon]], and in addition to this, the league’s top teams every season get to play in the tournaments organized by [[IFCF]], such as the [[Champions League]] and the [[Challengers Cup]].

==History==

==Competition format==
20 clubs compete in each Lega Macbon A season. During the course of a season, usually from March to November, each club plays the others twice, once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents, for a total of 38 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 head-to-head performance, goal difference, away goals scored, goals scored, number of wins, and then a drawing of lots. At the end of each season, the club with the most points is crowned champion.

The three lowest ranked teams are relegated to [[Lega Macbon B]] at the end of the season.
