Wikipedia - Ecuadorian Serie B
The Primera Categoría Serie B, shortened to Serie B or Primera B, is a professional football league in Ecuador. It is in the second tier of the Ecuadorian football league system. Currently contested by ten clubs, it operates a system of promotion and relegation with the top-flight Serie A and the bottom-level Segunda Categoría. The season runs from February to December in two stages. For sponsorship reasons, it is known as the LigaPro Banco Pichincha Pymes.
Serie B has been in place since 1971 and has been held on a yearly basis since (except 1973 and 1983–88), often holding two tournaments a year. The number of teams being promoted or relegated changed through the years because, like the Serie A, the format often changes on a seasonal basis. With the creation of LigaPro for the beginning of the 2019 season, the format consisted of two separate round robin stages. The top four teams with the most points after both stages were placed in a playoffs to determine the two teams who would earn promotion to Serie A the following season. Additionally, the two teams with the fewest points at the end of the season are relegated to the Segunda Categoría.
Thirty two different clubs have won the Serie B, but only twelve have won it multiple times. The most successful team is Técnico Universitario, who won their sixth title in 2017, while the current champion is Macará.
The tournament consists of 12 teams that compete against each other in a round-robin format, with each team playing a total of 22 matches throughout the season. The teams battle it out on the field, displaying their skills, tactics, and teamwork to secure victories and climb up the league table.
The matches are held in stadiums across Ecuador, providing an exciting atmosphere for both players and fans. The tournament attracts a dedicated fan base, with supporters cheering on their favorite teams and creating an electric atmosphere during the matches.
The Ecuador LigaPro Serie B serves as a stepping stone for teams aspiring to reach the top division, LigaPro Serie A. It provides a platform for young and talented players to showcase their abilities and catch the attention of scouts and coaches from higher-ranked clubs.
The tournament is known for its intense competition, with teams fighting for promotion to the top division or battling to avoid relegation. The matches are filled with thrilling moments, including spectacular goals, skillful dribbles, and strategic plays.
The Ecuador LigaPro Serie B not only promotes the growth and development of soccer in Ecuador but also contributes to the overall sporting culture of the country. It brings communities together, fosters a sense of pride and unity, and creates memorable moments for players and fans alike.
