history
In Guinea-Bissau, a national champion was played in what was then the Portuguese colony of Guinea-Bissau at least since 1960 , until 1972.
After the country's unilaterally declared independence in 1973, the national football association of Guinea-Bissau, the Federação de Futebol da Guiné-Bissau , was founded in 1974 . In 1975 she organized the new national championship, the Campeonato Nacional da Guiné-Bissau, for the first time .
Various political and financial crises in Guinea-Bissau occasionally led to the interruption or failure of football operations in the country, and thus to individual championships that were not held, especially since the beginning of the Portuguese colonial war in Guinea-Bissau in 1963.
