Prior to that, there were three Provincial Championships, one each for the Eastern, Western and Southern provinces.
After the withdrawal of Hilal Sabha due to lack of resources, the league was limited to just two teams.
Their arch rivals Al Ahly (Tripoli) have won it 13 times.
The last team to win the title from outside the capital was al- Naser fc, who won the league in the 2018 season.
