There are a significant number of valuable professional leagues around the world. Top leagues include English Premier League (UK); La Liga (Spain); Bundesliga (Germany); Ligue 1 (France); and Major League Soccer or MLS (U.S.). Latin America is home many leagues as well including the Argentine Primera Division (26 teams) and Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A (20 teams).
