Domestic football champions

In men's association football, national associations organise annual championships for their member clubs. The winners of those are declared champions of the country. Normally, as per tradition, the club is presented a title and the players and staff receive winners' medals.

Domestic champions usually gain access to continental leagues for the next season.

Current champions

Below are lists of the current or last known champions of the nations that are members, full or associate, of one of FIFA's six continental confederations: AFC (Asia), CAF (Africa), CONCACAF (North and Central America and the Caribbean), CONMEBOL (South America), OFC (Oceania), and UEFA (Europe). The great majority of those nations are also members of FIFA itself; where this is not the case, this is noted.

Former and defunct championships are not included.

AFC

In Palestine two top-level leagues coexist (the West Bank Premier League and the Gaza Strip Premier League), and thus the country has two champions.

Northern Mariana Islands currently uses the split-season format: "Spring" and "Fall", and thus championship is awarded twice within a calendar year.

Northern Mariana Islands also does not have FIFA membership.

CAF

Réunion and Zanzibar are associate members of CAF and do not have FIFA membership.

CONCACAF

In Saint Kitts and Nevis two top-level leagues coexist (the SKNFA Premier League and the N1 League), and thus the country has two champions.

Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama and Puerto Rico currently use the split-season format: "Apertura" and "Clausura" ("Opening" and "Closing" in Belize, "Ouverture" and "Clôture" in Haiti), and thus championship is awarded twice within a calendar year.

Bonaire, French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint Martin and Sint Maarten do not have FIFA membership.

CONMEBOL

Colombia ("Apertura" and "Finalización") and Paraguay ("Apertura" and "Clausura") currently use the split-season format, and thus championship is awarded twice within a calendar year.

OFC

In Vanuatu two top-level leagues coexist (the Port Vila Football League and the VFF Champions League), and thus the country has two champions.

Kiribati and Tuvalu are associate members of OFC and do not have FIFA membership.
