2001 Bhutan A-Division

(Redirected from A-Division 2001)

The 2001 season of the Bhutanese A-Division was the seventh recorded season of top-flight football in Bhutan.[1] The league was won by Druk Star, their first title and the first time a Bhutanese team other than Druk Pol had won in the last six years.[1] The league was preceded by a qualifying tournament known as the Thimpu League. Qualifiers from this league joined other teams in a round robin group stage to determine the four teams who would proceed to the knock out stage.[2]

A-Division

edit

The A-division commenced on 12 August. Although Druk Star had not qualified via the Thimpu League earlier in the year, they were given a place following the withdrawal of Phuentsholing and Chhuka.[2] The league consisted of two groups of three teams playing in a round robin format. The top two teams from each group then qualified for the semi-final knockout stages.
