The Tahitian First Division (or the Tahiti Division Fêdêrale) is the top division of the Fédération Tahitienne de Football in French Polynesia. The league is currently named Super Ligue Mana for sponsorship reasons.
Competition Format
The competition is divided into two sections: the regular season and the play-offs.[1] The regular season involves a league with each team playing each other. At the end of the regular season the top teams along with the winners of the Moorea island league enter a Championship play-off league to determine that season's overall champions as well as the qualifiers for the OFC Champions League.[2] Meanwhile the lower teams enter a play-off league along with the top teams from the Second Division to determine which league they will be in next season.
