Liga I, or in full, due to sponsorship reasons, Liga I Bergenbier, is the top division of the Romanian football league system. Before the 2006/2007 season, it was called Divizia A, but the name had to be changed following the discovery that someone else had registered the trade mark "Divizia A". Liga I was established in 1909 and commenced play for the 1909-10 campaign, and currently enjoys a ranking of 8th in UEFA's league coefficient ranking list.
Liga I is part of Romanian Professional Football League (LPF).
It was reported that during the 2006-07 season 1,657,602 tickets were sold for the 306 games played, giving an average attendance of 5,417 spectators per match.
In October 2000, Dumitru Dragomir has been re-elected president of the "Professional Football League of Romania"
There are currently 18 teams at this level, of which the bottom four are relegated at the season's end. These teams are replaced by the champions of the two divisions that make up Liga 2, the second level of the Romanian football league system.
Starting in 2007-08, the champions and runners-up of Divizia A are eligible to compete in the UEFA Champions League during the following season. The 3rd and 4th placed team is eligible to compete in the UEFA Cup.
The most successful teams over the years have been Steaua Bucureşti (23 titles), Dinamo Bucureşti (18 titles), UT Arad (6 titles), Universitatea Craiova (4 titles) and other notable teams being: Rapid Bucureşti and Petrolul Ploieşti, each with three titles won. CFR Cluj was the first non-Bucharest team to win the championship (in 2007-2008) since the 1990-1991 season.
Starting with the 2004/05 season, European Food company took over as main sponsor and changed the league's name to "Divizia A Bürger", to promote their Bürger beer.
On May 11, 2008, Realitatea Media bought the naming rights for 5 years and changed the name of the competition to "Liga I Realitatea", to promote their Realitatea TV station.
In late 2008, Frutti Fresh, a Romanian soft drink company bought the rights and the league was named after the brand as Frutti Fresh Liga I.
For the 2009/2010 Season Gamebookers.com - the biggest online betting firm in Romania - purchased the league naming rights and renamed the division "Liga 1 Gamebookers.com".
On March 31, 2008, Antena 1 together with RCS&RDS; outbid Realitatea Media and Kanal D in the broadcasting rights auction with a bid of €102 million for a three seasons contract.
