The Women's Super League (current sponsor name: AXA Women's Super League , AWSL) is the top division in Swiss women's football . The league, which was called National League A until 2019/20 , was founded in 1970 . The current champions and record champions are FC Zurich Women . The 2020/21 Women's Super League is the 51st season.
From the 2010/11 season to the 2015/16 season , the championship was divided into two parts: After the qualifying round, which consists of 10 teams and 18 rounds, the first eight clubs played for the title in the final round, while the last two teams played the first two of the National League B fought for promotion and relegation. In the final round, the points earned up to that point were halved and played against each other again. In the promotion / relegation playoff four teams played against each other twice.
In the 2016/17 renovation season , everyone first played against each other twice, then the first six teams contested the final round, here once without halving the points. The last four teams and the first two of the National League B played a simple round (5 games per team) for the last two places in the top class.
Since the 2017/18 season the NLA consists of only 8 teams. This is to improve the level of the league. There are now no more qualification and final rounds. Everyone plays against everyone twice at home and away, so that there are 28 rounds. The winner is Swiss, while the last placed in the National League B descend needs. As a result of the UEFA five-year ranking , in addition to the champions (round of 32), the runner-up (qualification) is currently also qualified for the UEFA Women's Champions League .
