The 2024 season of the Liga Dominicana de Futbol is the 10th season of Association football in the Dominican Republic. Before the season started, a one-game play-off match was contested between Atlantico FC and Atletico Pantoja at Estadio Leonel Plácido. The match was held to determine the last slots for the upcoming 2024 CFU Club Shield. Atletico Pantoja won on penalties 4-2, securing them the 3rd and final slot for the Caribbean Cup.[1] The season started on 8 March 2024 with eight teams, as Jarabacoa FC has been relegated for the 2024 season in a decision to have their home turf renovated along with overall improvements to their club.[2]
Competition system
The Liga Dominicana de Futbol tournament will consist of three parts:
- Regular Season: The competition format will have a regular three-round phase, with a minimum of twenty-one matches for all clubs.[3] This phase will be played from March to July 2024. The six best qualifiers from the regular phase go to the Liguilla, in a round-robin format. From there, the best four teams advance to the semifinals, with their winners going to the grand final of the LDF 2024, all of which have 2-legged matches.[4]
The order of classification of the teams will be determined in a general calculation table, as follows:
- 1) Higher number of points;
- 2) Greater goal difference in favor; in case of equality;
- 3) Higher number of goals scored; in case of equality;
- 4) Highest number of away goals scored; in case of equality;
- 5) Fewest red cards received; in case of equality;
- 6) Fewest yellow cards received; in case of equality;
- 7) Draw.
- Liguilla: The six teams classified from the regular season will play a system of all against all. Each team will play a total of five matches in their own field and in the opposite field, making a total of ten rounds. The top four teams at the end of the League will advance to the Play-offs. The ranking order will be the same as for the Regular Season.
- Play-offs: An elimination system will be played, the first place in the Liguilla will face the fourth place and the second place will face the third. Both keys will be played in two games and the winners will advance to the Grand Final, which will also be played in two games.
