History
[edit]Background
[edit]In 2013, the first national amateur women's football championship endorsed by the FEF was organized. None of these 16 participating clubs belonged to or were subsidiaries of the Ecuadorian Serie A men's clubs. They are teams that have been carrying out this activity at the neighborhood or amateur level for 15 and even 20 years, there is no exact date.
Formation
[edit]In 2019, the FEF created the Women's Football Commission to be in charge of the creation of a new professional women's football league which included the participation of the Serie A teams from Ecuador. In this tournament, the teams will be able to register players in a professional manner, although it is not an obligation that the entire teams are to be.
Sponsorship
[edit]On 29 August 2019, the Ecuadorian Football Federation reached an agreement with DirecTV for the transmission of the final stage of the 2019 season.[1]
