Notes

The Championship was run most seasons, sometimes in a two-tier format involving up to 50 teams in a first round, and sometimes in a league involving promotion and relegation.

Teams represented provinces or institutions (August 1st is the Army team). In 1994, a professional league was started, involving specially constituted clubs from the original teams.

The championship was frequently interrupted by politics (1966-72, 1976) or
the National Games. The early years were particularly chaotic with the National Team frequently taking part in the competition, but not playing for points or position.

The National Games is a four-yearly (usually) multi-sport event similar to the Olympics, involving provincial teams. Usually, the championship was suspended or shortened in National Games years. After the introduction of the professional league, the National Games football tournament became a championship for Under 23 players.
