The Ligue de Football Professionnel (French pronunciation: [liɡ futbol pʁɔfɛsjɔnɛl], Professional Football League), commonly known as the LFP, is a French governing body that runs the major professional football leagues in France and Monaco.[1] It was founded in 1944 and serves under the authority of the French Football Federation. The current president of the league is Vincent Labrune. It is headquartered in Paris.[2]

The league is responsible for overseeing, organizing, and managing the top two leagues in France, Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 and is also responsible for the 36 professional football clubs that contest football in France (both 18 in Ligue 1 and Ligue 2).
