The Gabonese top tier championship was last played in 2019, but was abandoned halfway, with FEGAFOOT deciding not to promote or relegate teams that season.

According to a note from the Secretary General of Linaf, Charles Nzego, matches counting for Day one action, will be played on Saturday 14 May, 2022.

The league has been structured in a new format, so as to meet up with the CAF calendar. The 14 clubs taking part in the championship have been partitioned in two pools of seven teams each.

Pool A is made up of CF Mounana, AS Pelican, Bouenguidi Sport, FC 105, AO Stade Mandji, Stade Migoveen and Union Sportive d'Oyem.

In pool B, Akanda FC, U.S.B, AS Dikaki, Lozosport, AS Manga sport, Missile FC, and Cercle Mbèri Sportif, will battle it out for the top spot.

Cercle Mbéri Sportif remains the current Champions of the Gabonese league, after winning it in the 2018_2019 season.
