The organisation of football in Uruguay is based on a hierarchical league system, which allows clubs to ascend or descend in level based on their performance. This system is divided into several tiers, ranging from professional football to amateur football.
At the top of the hierarchy is the Primera División, which is the highest level of Uruguayan football. It comprises 16 professional clubs vying for the title of Uruguay's champion. The teams that rank lowest at the end of the season are relegated to the Segunda División, which also includes 16 clubs. The top-performing teams in this division are promoted to the Primera División.
The third level of Uruguayan football is the Segunda División Amateur, which hosts semi-professional and amateur teams. The best teams at this level can be promoted to the Segunda División.
Below these three national levels, Uruguayan football is organised into regional leagues, which constitute the lower tiers of the system. These regional leagues are numerous and varied, reflecting the richness and diversity of Uruguayan football at all levels of competition.
