Seychelles - List of Champions

The first tournament was organised in 1936 by Dr J.T. Bradley, the Challenge Cup. Afterwards a league tournament with 5 participating teams, consisting of 20 matches, was played; the first edition, in 1941 was played by Ascot XI, Seychelles XI, Royal Mission XI, Police Team and Saint Louis College Team. By 1955, the number of participants had grown to 9.
In the 1960s, Ascot dominated Seychelles' football.
In the 1970s, Rangers and Rovers took turns winning trophies.

Period from 1982 to 1993 described as time of regionalisation; in 1993 clubs were reintroduced, and the first 'full' season with club teams finished in 1995.
