The 1f. Lig (1st. League in English, alternatively known as the Ynf Lig, pronounced /ʏð liʝ/) is Vyvland’s top division of association football. It contains eighteen teams from across the country, and maintains a system of promotion and relegation of three teams a year between it and the 2f. Lig, Vyvland’s second division.

The season runs from September to May, during which time 34 matches are played per team, totalling 306 matches overall. The vast majority of games are played on weekends, with some on Friday nights. It is broadcast by the national broadcaster, VNB, who own rights to two-thirds of the matches, and VBC, which broadcasts all the matches on VBC Sport.

The 1f. Lig was set up in 1986 as a top tier for the unified Vyvland, with clubs from the former North and South competing. The first league contained 15 clubs, but this was expanded to 16 in 1991 and 18 in 1996. Historically, the league has been dominated by Vlud Sdad and Sdaamro VK, from Vlud and Lyksdal respectively, both of whom have won 7 titles each, totalling over half of all the titles won between the two clubs. The other clubs never to have been relegated are Woitros Mafiy, Wel Lions and Jesel Seyk.

The current champions of the league (2014-15) are Vlud Sdad. Each year, the champions play the champions of the Nevan Liiga in an event known in Vyvlander as the Norfseebaker (North [Esquarian] Ocean Cup).
