Lesotho A–Division

The Lesotho A–Division is the second-tier professional football league in the Southern African nation of Lesotho. Organized by the [[Lesotho Football Association]] (LEFA), it serves as the primary feeder league for the top-flight [[Lesotho Premier League]] (also known as the Vodacom Premier League for sponsorship reasons).

The A–Division comprises a number of clubs from various districts across Lesotho. Teams compete annually for promotion to the Premier League, with the top-ranked clubs at the end of each season typically gaining promotion, while the bottom-ranked clubs are relegated to regional lower divisions. The exact number of participating teams and the precise promotion/relegation structure can vary by season, subject to decisions by LEFA.

As the second highest level of football in the country, the Lesotho A–Division plays a crucial role in developing talent and providing a competitive platform for aspiring professional footballers. It contributes significantly to the overall structure and health of football in Lesotho, with successful teams and players often advancing to the national Premier League and sometimes attracting attention for the [[Lesotho national football team]].
