THE MOST CHAMPION TITLES OF THE DECADE (2011-2020) by IFFHS
Picture : Real Esteli won 10 Champion titles for last ten years in Nicaragua !
Club with most champion titles in 2011-20: Real Estelí (Nicaragua)
Over the Decade 2011-20, there were some clubs which almost didn’t leave the title of domestic champion from own hands. For example, Juventus in Italy, Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia, Ludogorets in Bulgaria have won 9 out of 10 titles on national scene which were at stake since 2011 to 2020.
But it was not highest achievement in the world football. The record holder of the decade is Real Estelí from Nicaragua. It became national champion 10 times for 10 years!
However, here we must mention that Real Estelí was in more favorable situation; in top division of Nicaragua, 14 championships have been in contest. Since 2011 to 2016, they disputed one title per year and since 2017 to 2020 two titles.
This is common practice in Latin American football: “binary season” with Apertura (Opening) and Clausura (Closing) two independent championships during a year. In the table below, these cases are marked with letters “a” and “c”.
There was special case in Bolivia where even 3 independent champions were crowned in 2017; in addition to two above named tournaments, also so-called Apertura Adecuacion (“aa”).
In few other cases on other continents, the cases of two championships in a single calendar year are marked (1) and (2).
In the table, all clubs are listed which won domestic league at least 5 times.
