League Format
The Premier League is made up of 16 clubs who play each other twice per season, home and away, resulting in each club playing 32 league games over 32 weeks. A total of 256 games are played per season. At the end of the season the two sides places 15th and 16th are automatically demoted to League One where two clubs from there will replace them in the Premier League.
Qualification for UIFF Competitions
There are currently two international competitions that Premier League clubs can qualify for. These are the UIFF Champions League and the UIFF Champions Cup. The top four placed sides move directly to the UIFF Champions League group stage while the sides placed from 5 to 8 automatically qualify for the group stage of the UIFF Champions Cup, which will be a new competition throughout season 3.
Disbandment
After season two there were numerous financial difficulties by the Haginonia Football Federation which led to the disbandment of the Haginonia Premier League, as well as lower leagues administered by the HFF. The total amount of debt at the closing of the league system is thought to have been approximately $526 million.
